Asahi Linux is capable of running on apple silicon but only certain chips are supported (AFAIK only M1 is fully compatible with that distro). If you just want a small computer that runs Linux, usually I use optiplex boxes.

I'm not sure such a thing exists, although perhaps by saying so I'll provoke some nice folks here into contradicting me and helping you out. The challenge in designing such a system is that the AS CPUs are so much more power efficient than Intel/AMD that they need less cooling, thus less fan noise.

The Beelink models that aren't painted orange look pretty unobtrusive. I'm not sure any of the Intel-compatible CPUs are going to surprise anyone at this point, Intel and AMDs roadmaps are well known years in advance.
