My Asahi M2 MacBook was stolen. It didn't have encryption
Sorry this happened to you. It is indeed correct that the Asahi installer does not support encryption, see https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-installer/issues/137
It can be done, but it's not straightforward: https://davidalger.com/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-on-apple-sil...

A note on Metal shader converter
The most complete documentation is in the applegpu repo[1] by dougallj showing a great deal of recent activity (including by alyssarosenzweig). Last I checked, the documentation of barrier instructions wasn't complete enough to tell whether these device-scoped barriers are possible. (Note: on RDNA2, they're accomplished by DLC and GLC flags on memory accesses, combined with cache flush instructions such as S_GL1_INV).
There's also a lot of great material, accessibly written, on Alyssa's blog[2], see in particular the posts titled "Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, part ${I}".

The first Asahi Linux Alpha Release is out! | Asahi Linux is a project that brings Linux to all M1 Macs
Not really. I don't mean to imply that it's easy but multiple people (Alyssa and Dougall have successfully built end to end FOSS drivers and compilers for the GPUs in these machines. It's a big undertaking but a lot of talented people are working on it
- Apple M1 latencies, throughput and iops
- dougallj/applegpu — Apple GPU reverse engineering
What are some alternatives?
When comparing asahi-installer and applegpu you can also consider the following projects:
FEX - A fast usermode x86 and x86-64 emulator for Arm64 Linux
