You can run a GUI but it would currently run on the CPU not GPU. Reports are that the UI is quite snappy running on the CPU. The basic Asahi install is Arch with KDE. Linus apparently put Fedora on his travel laptop. What Linus was complaining about is Chrome support, which is coming or maybe is already available - https://twitter.com/asahilinux/status/1507263017146552326?la...
It's more than that, it's the official conformance tests:

Sibling comment, but this has links to Apple documentation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33290808
And this seems to be able to get it running: https://github.com/diddledani/macOS-Linux-VM-with-Rosetta
I haven't tested this because I'm at work, but I'll verify it when I get home!
In my experience the M1 does have competitive SIMD performance?

Obviously the GPU will be better, but at one point I compared the M1 CPU to other ARM GPUs and found it had both better memory bandwidth and compute throughput, which is quite funny.
