Not on silicon macs as far as I know. Asahi linux would be the best option, but I wouldn't want that as my daily driver. Virtualization is more viable.

Isn't MacOS founded on Unix?

I had at least one Prof at university that claimed MacOS and Linux have more in common than Microsoft and has with either. The only thing tying MS and Apple is the vampiric nature of the companies.

Founded, no, but since OS X, yes. Not sure what your point is, though.

Edit: accidentally double-posted since first one disappeared

Yes, though I'm not sure what your point is.

No meaningful point. Just find it funny that everyone is so used to comparing MS/Apple. Its apples and oranges garbage fires (fueled by spreadsheets).

You're right (although to my knowledge there is only one Linux distro compatible with the new Macs), I just wrote down the first thing I thought of to say that Windows PCs are mostly open systems which allow a lot of tinkering and even the complete replacement of most components (BIOS can sometimes reflashed with a custom build, I don't know how feasible it is on a Mac).
