For starters the OP is talking about computers not any device. And talking about hardware not software.
Running Linux on M-series is an excellent option and probably superior to running on Intel (as Intel chips after 2017 ship with the Intel ME spyware, but also in terms of performance)
The M-series SoC is very well designed, even for booting other operating systems because of security and verifiability at the firmware level.
