With the new Apple Silicon devices you can’t boot your own OSes anymore so the process of putting the desktop in a walled garden is complete.

But where is the issue though? While you won’t be able to “own” your MacBook Air there are so many alternatives available such that crowding-out computers with open Bootloaders seems implausible.

EDIT: Apparently there is a way to load your own os using bputil

I'm not sure this is confirmed. Though either way it's somewhat moot as Linux drivers for key Apple Silicon components (e.g. GPU, radios) are unlikely to be available any time soon.
