I wonder how viable Mac + Asahi Linux is right now. While I personally prefer AMD + Linux, for Macbook users perhaps Asahi can help break the dependency on MacOS.

As for smartphones, ironically the best option for to break dependency on Google services is to get a Google Pixel + install GrapheneOS + F-Droid. Google Pixels are some of the very few devices with a fully unlocked bootloader, so it's viable to install alternative operating systems.

Very solid on M2. I've been out of the "try 10 distros" game for a long while and out of the box gnome fedora won me over. I like the GUI to install and update software, I never have to touch a terminal unless I want to. Only setback is no HDMI over USBC, and it didn't like my particular Bluetooth audio device, but a USB DAC does just fine.

I think there are some issues recently with the M4 chips: https://appleinsider.com/articles/25/04/08/asahi-linux-m4-su...
