I’m planning to buy a new laptop soon.
I realized I could get a MacBook for much less. It seems like a fun
hardware option to try out. I plan to run Debian on it ofcourse, but
I'm uncertain if using Asahi as my daily driver is a good idea.

I found a wiki page[1] for M1 Mac, but I’d love to hear if anyone
has personal experience with it.

I have Macbook Pro with M1 Pro cpu running Fedora Asahi Remix [1] on it.
Most of time it spends with lid closed and I use it headless but many times used it during travelling.

KDE desktop works nice on it, WiFi, BT, speakers, USB, NVME, HDMI etc work. For me the most missing parts are:
- Thunderbolt (you need usb3 hub between TB docking station and laptop)
- DisplayPort over USB-C connector

If you want to get Debian running on I would recommend tripleboot setup with MacOS (you need it in case of firmware upgrades need), Fedora Asahi Remix (to check how things work) and Debian (where some work will be needed).
