From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

M1 is far from the latest, you can pick them up real cheap used now. I would need to do some real research before recommending my Intel mac strategy of buying locked systems that just need a reinstall because most pawn shops don't know what they have, but I'm sure if it works then that would be the best used option possible.
