I don’t run Asahi on anything currently, but I do have two desktop Linux machines, an M1 Macbook, and have previously run Linux on an Intel Mac… I can see the argument for laptops based on battery life/heat/build quality, but for a desktop machine I’d need a lot of convincing to justify the price premium and risk of compatibility issues in choosing a Mac Mini over a SFF/USFF/Tiny desktop with fully supported hardware.
