Fedora Asahi Remix is currently the best option for Apple Silicon devices. In fact, it’s the recommended distro of the Asahi Linux project. You can install it by opening the Terminal app on your Mac, typing curl https://alx.sh | sh (without the backticks), and pressing Enter.

Ubuntu Asahi uses the same Asahi Linux base to bring the popular Ubuntu distro to your Apple Silicon Mac. Ubuntu’s popularity and extensive library of third-party software makes it a great alternative choice to Fedora Asahi Remix. You can install it by opening the Terminal app on your Mac, typing curl -sL https://ubuntuasahi.org/install | sh (without the backticks), and pressing Enter.
