The only reason I'm not buying an M series macbook is because I thought there's no Linux support, have things changed? Is it all unofficial?
support is neither official (by apple) nor unofficial (a hack), you can install other operating systems to apple silicon macs without any jailbreaks/hacks, but linux was ported by a community team
only m1 and m2 are properly supported
m3 is WIP, m4 is very WIP, m5 and m6 idk if are even started
M1 and M2 got unofficial Linux support pretty quickly. M3 still lacks GPU support last I checked and Apple is on M6 now. The oldest devices they sell are M4 and M1 is a year away from losing all support from Apple from what I was told, so yes things have changed but not in a good way. I've heard that the Framework 13 Pro might be a decent alternative though
