I'm excited for Linux support on the M1. I don't even have a Mac Book, but more incentive for Linux apps to support ARM is a good thing.

Most distros have had ARMv8 (AArch64) support for a while now, Apple didn't invent RISC/ARM this year.

The most common AArch64 distro usage is on RaspberryPies

Yeah, but there wasn't consistent ARM support like there was for x86. It was only a few months ago that the desktop release of Ubuntu didn't support ARM.
