How is Linux on the M1 Macbook Pro? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to pick up an old M1 macbook from my work if I can slap linux on it and turn it into a usable laptop. Its the A2338

I'm most worried about hardware support and running into constant wifi, keyboard and software bugs.

Does anyone have experience using this class of device with linux?

I have an M1 I use only with Linux. Pain points : no Thunderbolt, no HDMI, battery life is awful. Otherwise it's a very nice machine. (I'm gonna sell it soon because of the aforementioned pain points)
