Sounds great but being limited to using an Apple OS is a show-stopper issue. I'd rather have a less good processor and using an OS that does not put constraint onto my usage
The Asahi Linux project already has upstreamed basic support, and hardware drivers are now being worked on. It's only a matter of time until M1 macs are practically usable devices on alternative OSes!
I don't contend that the time is finite but "usable" given that it's not only Apple hardware but new Apple hardware with from what I've heard slightly janky peripherals, may be relative.
