  Just a heads up, running Linux on Apple’s proprietary hardware can get a little complicated. If this is your first for an into Linux, I recommend using a standard PC laptop.

    Especially on an M1. In a different architecture you don’t have Apple’s translation layer, so you’re stuck with ARM software only

      yeah, ARM software support is only so-so (but getting better), major issues are mostly hardware related. for example, DisplayPort and Thunderbolt don’t work yet.

    Ahh ok. Maybe a dual boot on my PC is a better option. I’ve just always had bad luck with dual booting. I always seem to mess it up

      highly recommend installing linux on a separate ssd and removing the windows one for installation.

      Also your steam library most probably won’t like being loaded from the windows drive, because it is formatted to ntfs, which isn’t perfectly supported on linux.

        I have some spare SSDs from an old build, would that be a better option? Right now I have two name drives right on the mobo for windows and games.

      Windows will fuck up that pc you have running a linux partition so fast. Its possible you’re not doing anything wrong, aside from using windows.
