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.

If you find that macOS and the software for it lead to good productivity, I'd advise against ditching it solely for having to allow unsigned applications to run. It's a few clicks once per app.
I didn't use Asahi myself. I'd imagine it works for quite a few people, but I personally wouldn't use it as a daily driver, because the community support is much smaller compared to popular distributions. I'd get a non-Apple computer for using Linux. You could just try it out though, obviously.
I was gonna say the same. It’s going for the nuclear option for a relatively small problem (unsigned apps warning). Why run something that emulates an OS when you already have the legit one that’s proven to work well with your productivity. Also, the best OS that runs on mac hardware is macOS. It’s definitely worth trying on a non-apple computer for sure.
that's fair, i'll definitely have to see what the changes to my workflow are
