I'm guessing not, unless they consider using it and possibly complaining "helping".
Guessing based on what, the assumption that people who complain never do anything useful? I won't speak for others, but I've submitted bug reports and patches to other distros and also avoid RH projects.
Would Asahi linux on an apple laptop be the best Linux laptop experience these days for someone who prioritizes fanlessness? It seems the other ARM option is the ThinkPad X13s, which presumably has lower performance. Anyone have experience running linux on these machines and can compare the experience and hardware compatibility?

If you don't mind skimping on speaker quality or, depending on model, screen resolution, I will again recommend lg gram laptops. I never heard the fan on my first, and my second only comes on if it is charging a low battery while on a video call, and even that is quiet compared to the helicopter noise of the last MacBook pro I had through my last employer.
It's worth noting that this MBP was almost certainly an Intel model. The new ARM-based Apple laptops rarely have audible fans. This isn't to discount your recommendation, however.
I have never used Fedora, I use Arch on my desktop and really enjoyed it on my macbook. It's kind of sad the Arch developers didn't want to put more effort into supporting alarm. If Arch is totally dropped by Asahi team it's unlikely I'll continue using linux on my macbook at all. I just have better things to do than manage multiple distros.
As I mentioned in my blog post, I also really like Arch. And I definitely understand the benefits to sticking to a single distro on multiple systems. But as a long term Fedora user who used Arch as a daily driver for a year and a half because of Asahi, and now just switched back to Fedora because of Asahi, I have a solid appreciation for the benefits that Fedora provides over Arch. In short, I like Fedora more than A…
That font is difficult, had to force it to change in the browser

You can find all that information here: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support I will say the the battery life on my Mac Studio sucks - as soon as I unplug it from power, it turns off.
It doesn't really say if the trackpad works properly there and I didn't see anything about battery life. Frankly I find this statement from the blog post extremely hard to believe: > All the hardware works Really? The webcam? Touchpad gestures? Fingerprint reader? Bluetooth? Thunderbolt?
Battery life on the Mac Studio sucks though ;-)

I think so, X13s can become extremely hot and are slower. Only things still lacking for single machine use is speakers, microphone and webcam: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support
Also the ability to connect to external displays is missing - which is a pretty big one.
Fedora has been really doing an incredible job at creating a great distro for everyday use. I kinda regret going back and forth between debian and ubuntu when ubuntu started getting shitty, should have moved to fedora eons ago.
1. The release of a version every six months. (I would prefer at least a yearly release for being sure that things are gonna be matured enough)
2. The fact that Red Hat is behind. (At this point, having seen the CentOS debacle, I don't trust them long term that much)

Just curious, is there something similar to AUR on Fedora? It's a big selling point for me.
