Linux users experimenting with M4 Macs waste hours testing hardware compatibility. Create a crowdsourced wiki where users report what works, with searchable tags for specific components. Monetize through affiliate links for confirmed-compatible hardware. The MVP could be a simple GitHub repo with a standardized reporting format. The risk is niche audience size if Apple makes official Linux support unnecessary.
