Linux on an MacBook Air M1

Is it too early to give this a go as a new Linux user? From my research online Asahi is my option but it’s still very limited.

I was researching this option last year and after talking with the Asahi crew via IRC, their advice was at least 16GB of memory and 512GB for SSD because you do have to keep macOS around for certain tasks, like firmware updates. With smaller amounts of disk space and memory, the system will use swap which can use a lot of the write cycles on the SSD.

You should probably check to see if this is still their recommendation.
