AFAIK, the main Arch Linux project isn't very interested in supporting the ARM architecture at all. This decision probably has more to do with that than anything else.
Arch is unusual in that it's x86-64 only, so going from 1 to 2 is probably a lot harder than other distros just adding the nth new architecture.
The world is moving away from the AMD64 architecture fast, and Apple Silicon M-series chips are the high end of the current state of the art in ARM chips. If Arch Linux is ever to adopt ARM, working with Asahi would have been a smart move.

Just curious, is there something similar to AUR on Fedora? It's a big selling point for me.
Fedora has "Cool Other Package Repositories" or COPR. They're a place for community members to build and publish arbitrary RPM packages. Some are well curated and high quality, others less so.
vast majority of stuff in the aur has no arm version, how about COPR?

#135Is anyone aware of plans to port Asahi changes to make other linux distros, i.e. Ubuntu, and others, to be able to run without additional setup on M1 Macs?
An Ubuntu port already exists

#136Would 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?
> seems the other ARM option is the ThinkPad X13s Seems there is a bunch of Windows laptops from Dell, Lenovo and Samsung besides the X13 https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/pcs-and-...
they all have lower specs than M series, the Samsung and Thinkpad ones are the only two that have 16G of RAM. I think Macbooks are objectively superial in this ARM race, for now

I think it depends. For me, fanless is super appealing. However, I have a Dell XPS 13 7390 with a i7-10710U where the fan is at 0 RPM most of the time I use it, and that is super satisfying to me. However, during a big compile, the fan does come on, sometimes it comes on at a high speed. But then, within about 30s to 1 minute, it goes back down to 0 RPM. I'm pretty happy with this, even though I love even more the id…
It's also worth pointing out that you can change the power governor in Linux whenever you want, so if you don't mind the compilation taking longer you can manually just throttle your PC to keep it silent at the cost of performance.

Re point #1; ``dnf system-upgrade'' just works.
Also, if you're concerned about stability you can just follow one release behind. That is, upgrade to Fedora 38 after Fedora 39 comes out - after it has gotten 6 months of polish.
Sure, use unsupported OS. You can always install Windows XP for maximum stability.
