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.

Does this mean my M2 Mac mini can finally run Linux well soon? Asahi works but is missing so much functionality
Out of genuine curiosity, what is it missing? I have to use macOS on my Apple Silicon computers, so I haven’t tried out Asahi.
There are support table on asahi wiki. For example, here is the support page of M2: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/M2-Series-Feature-Support
It is missing thunderbolt, touch id, video decoder, video encoder, DP alt mode, pro res, PCIE etc.
