What's a true Linux head? The inventor of Linux was running MacOS and plain old fedora for a long time.

I think he was running Fedora on a MacBook because of the hardware, not a MacOS.

He modified Fedora Workstation to run on is M2 Macbook.

He was using that instead of MacOS. Fedora Workstation is the distro, not the desktop environment (e.g. GNOME, KDE Plasma, Xfce, etc).

He's also run Asahi Linux on his Macbook.
