Maybe I'm too entrenched in FOSS political vision, but why devote these tremendous efforts to improve products of a company like Apple. I don't understand the motivation behind Asahi linux, except "just because it can be done" ie academic purpose

Fair enough. For me, scripts are small reusable programs performing a very specific (sometimes trivial or common) task. Eg: making a wav file from PCM data, modifying byte sequences or formatted text in a particular way, etc. I mostly program in C so I have written most scripts in C. Need not necessarily be grokkable as long as its application and scope is clear

A script is more about the program rather than the language. You can write a script in assembly or C++ or whatever

He might've graduated years ago. My experience (also from India) was Ubuntu/Mint is the most likely OS you will encounter in academia here. In school, we were taught about OSes (just GUI programs from Windows and Linux). And during engineering where basic programming is taught to all, we were encouraged to use Ubuntu and even our computer lab had Ubuntu or Mint installed on all computers.

Not officially supported but it works just as well and might be more well documented than Ubuntu, regarding support and issues
