Wait, Linux works on m series chips now?! I totally missed that news!

EDIT

Oh wait, i think this sounds like just a step toward making that happen. Still good news!

It has run on them for several years - a lot of stuff just hasn’t been mainlined yet and is only in custom patches for Asahi Linux right now. This is part of the process of mainlining.

Meaning like the kernel runs on them, or you can actually have a fully standard Linux like ubuntu running on it?

Not "mainlined" means that the changes are not in the official Linux kernel. Only Asahi works on the M series

Thanks for the clarification
