Not Asahi but I recently revived a 10-year-old MacBook Pro (MBP 2015) that had been sitting in my closet for many years by installing Fedora on it. To my surprise, it's fast and sleek, just like a brand new computer. All of the drivers worked!

The laptop now serves as a desktop when I'm at home and as an SSH server when I'm at work. And my 5-year-old M1 MacBook is now sitting in the closet, waiting for its turn in the next 10 years.


I think you'll find the M1 macbook runs Fedora even better
Except for all the issues running ARM, 16k page sizes (cuts out some flatpaks!), and the stuff that's not yet implemented like dispaly out on thunderbolt.
I run couple servers with NixOs, one on MBA 2015 and another one on ThinkPad x240. Works well
