That it will actually run on Apple Silicon.

TBH, I would love to install GNU or BSD on my M4 Max Mac Studio. What I really wanted is a modern UNIX workstation. My Studio’s price/performance was the best available, so that’s what I bought. Now, I am happy with that purchase except for the constant diminution in software quality from Apple.

If I could buy modern apple hardware and run the Linux of my choice, I probably would. I have 0 interest in the apple ecosystem.
