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.

Even I am interested in running linux in M1 macbook pro. Which distro have you used for that?
I don’t know what distros are available, but the big project everyone is talking about when talking about Linux on apple silicon is Asahi Linux
I have tried that but it has quite some missing thingsmaking it hard to use it as a daily driver. I may be wrong tho
Definitely. It is still in alpha, so nowhere near a stable release. I believe that in the next year or so most of the things will get ironed out
Ooops! I meant to type 'Macbook Air'. I'll leave the goof up to give your comment context, but I don't have a MBP these days. I used the initial Asahi release and I've been upgrading it in place for a year or so.
