Yes... "helps" as in 'help Asahi grow sales for Apple laptops'.

Not saying it's a bad thing, just pointing out the obvious for those who're not seeing it.Apple is well-aware of the state their operating system('s') and ecosystem is, especially to the tech-savy and skeptics around privacy and the shitty general trend that computing follows. In the case that people magically start growing a conscience or care more about these things, they're prepared to switch gears or stop "thinking differently".

Arm macs are a nice piece of HW(with the exception of non-upgradable memory due to SoC but it's a understandable compromise given the gained performance of such glued design-choice), however it's a shame we need to pray the Gods for decent ports/development of Linux distributions to make them usable.
