Is it too early to give this a go as a new Linux user? From my research online Asahi is my option but it’s still very limited.

    It works fairly well. A “daily driver” if you don’t mind tinkering. Installed some basic dev tools, runtimes, and container workloads. You’ll miss some QOL and efficiencies compared to macOS, and I couldn’t quite get the trackpad to feel as good, but that’s pretty par-for-the-course when it comes to running a non-macOS OS on a MacBook.

    Since dual-boot is the default install option, doesn’t hurt to carve other some space for Asahi and give it a whirl. You’re intended to be able to use both on the same system as needed.

      Would it be possible to install and run it from an external USB disk and leave the Mac disk intact?
