From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Asahi only partially supports the M3 and I guess now the M4 is out (though only in iPad)?
Asahi supports M1 and M2 chips because that's what they own.

M3, (and then M4) isn't there because the cheapest hardware, the Mini, doesn't exist with them... And also because work isn't finished on M1/M2.

The way apple sees its computer customer base now as they see their iPhone base (Must Own Latest Must Buy Shiniest), I do hope for the Asahi Linux project they don't keep on iterating endlessly with new hardware twice a year.
