I would actually suggest Gentoo, because it is meant to work in such a way where you compile the code for any specific chipset.
>M1, ARMHere, check this out:
>https://www.gentoo.org/downloads/#arm64-advancedAt the bottom of the page, you can see that they have support for just about every architecture under the sun, including arm64, which is Apple's silicone chip family.
From there, you can read the handbook to install and configure, it's not as complicated as it seems. Apparently they don't have a handbook version for arm64, but I don't think you really need one, as the instructions for installation and configuration will be the same:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:Main_PageI'd understand if you don't want to try Gentoo, but I can vouch for it as a stable system (once configured properly) that I've used for years with zero issues.
Could also provide support and suggestions if you need any, although I do not have an Apple silicone machine myself so I have never tested installation on it before (coincidentally, I ordered one a while ago and it should be arriving today.)
>but the documentation is shit, just like any good OSS.You're in luck, Gentoo has some of the best documentation on the planet (see the above handbook), and a good support community (see below):

If you're experiencing a hardware issue, you should get that resolved first. Do as the other anon says and contact Apple support.
