you’re talking a feature of ARM architecture vs x86.
lots of companies besides Apple are making ARM PCs, and Linux (and Windows and other OSes) runs fine on ARM with unified memory.
I’m talking of unifiée memory.
which is not unique to Macs. all ARM PCs have unified memory. AMD is doing it in some of their x86 now too (Strix Halo) and Intel also have it with their Core / Arc integrated graphics boards - https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpu-drivers/intels-new-graphics-driver-lets-you-dedicate-up-to-87-percent-of-laptop-memory-capacity-to-the-igpu-for-vram-core-ultra-cpus-get-shared-gpu-memory-override-feature
