The "Community v.s. Vendor Enablement" was a pretty interesting discussion.
I feel like one thing people (who are pessimistic with Ashai Linux) overlook is that the Ashai team cares a lot about attention to detail. I argue that most vendors don't have that level of care for Linux.
It's why I feel like (in the long run) Apple Silicon will offer a superior Linux experience compared to most x86_64 machines.
Generally speaking, it has been a great experience for most apps I use. The only exception is Steam, it runs well, but sometimes I run into a few issues.
