How is the support for linux on M-based Macs these days?

Is it viable ?

Maybe on M1,but after some heavy dispute, Asahi Lina, main dev of the graphics driver, stopped working on it and does not feel safe coming back. Also, it was in rust

I've heard it is getting better. It would be worth downloading and trying a live-usb out and see where it is presently at.

I need something that I can use for work though

It is still considered unstable and unfinished

Wouldn't use it for work
