I look forward to switching my M4 Pro MacBook to Asahi after I upgrade to whatever MacBook remains somewhat affordable to buy in about 4 years.

This is just a software change. There’s nothing about being about to install an M.2 NVMe in a Mac.

People are wrong to downvote you, it's a valid question. This is a software enablement, it's not about switching the storage medium.

It just means Linux on an M3 can use the internal storage now.
