It is desirable. a bit off topic: I forgot the login to my Mac M1 and now I can't 'install Linux' on it, due to 'activation lock' - no apple support since I can't remember the phone number or e-mail and got it from e-bay. it worked, installed Mac, but I went full Linux and let it sit for a minute.

Apple Support told me in their own words it's bricked. It's mine. I own it.

I'd _love_ to play with M1 with my own Linux install. I'm not about to open it up and unsolder/solder things though.
