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...

Conformant OpenGL 4.6 on the M1
> When the X13S Snapdragon released I seem to remember it shipping with first-party Linux drivers for almost everything
Nope. 2 years on there's still no webcam support for this device [1], though it is in a lot better place than it was on launch (not being able to boot at all on mainline).
The Surface Pro X still seems to be a long way off [2].

Graviton 3, Apple M2 and Qualcomm 8cx 3rd gen: a URL parsing benchmark
It looks like there's been some good progress on getting Linux running natively on the Windows Dev Kit 2023 hardware[0]. There was a previous discussion here about this hardware back in 2022-11[1].

Linux on Surface Pro X

Surface pro X windows/Linux dual boot.
I'd recommend you follow the Surface Pro X GitHub page. It would have the most help for this project.

Linux on surface Pro X q2
Think it's more a lack of manpower/interest to get things running on it, would likely shift if Microsoft went all-in on ARM, see https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-pro-x

please I use a surface pro x, and I want to boot from usb and install and use another os, like Linux, what do I do? Cause I tried all the usual, and I the surface just restarts as normal. It's looking nigh impossible to boot from usb here.
here is a status on a "portage" of linux on the spx : https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-pro-x/issues/1

Torvalds using Asahi
Standards like UEFI, ACPI, and so on. Microsoft Surface Pro X supports this set of standards: https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-pro-x/wiki/Basic-Setup and that's why "installation should work with any recent ACPI-based installer" which is what Linux distributions targeting ARM servers use (the umbrella certification for this set of standards is called ARM ServerReady).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing asahi-installer and surface-pro-x you can also consider the following projects:
