macOS 26 Tahoe will be the last version of macOS for Intel powered Apple Macintosh computers.
Intel Macs make fabulous Linux machines! If you have an Intel Mac, there's options. All is not lost.
Between the excellent build quality and the fantastic displays I'd even suggest that Macs are a superior, non-obvious choice for picking up a used machine for experimenting with Linux. I've used Minis for Linux containerization nodes in the home lab in the past as well.
Be careful though, make sure the hardware spec matches the price. Lots of uninformed (delusional?) Mac zealots out there think their 5-10 year old Mac is worth way more than the hardware spec would imply. Paying a 5-10% premium for the better build quality on an iMac or lappie in the used market is worth it in my opinion. For the Mini, not so much.
*Caveats apply on a case by case basis*

El 6 junio 2005, Steve Jobs anunció que los Macs dejarían PowerPC para usar procesadores Intel. Un giro audaz que revitalizó Apple y marcó el futuro de sus equipos #retrocomputingmx #apple #intelmac #wwdc2005 #powerpc #HistoriaApple
So uh, what does it mean if I boot my Intel Macbook from USB and it gives me a light grey screen with an Apple logo (no ⊘ symbol, but also no loading bar or spinny animation). Do I assume that it's doing something? lol
Probably doesn't matter but it's an A1286 MBP 15" mid-2010.
After Homebrew is installed, to make it work correctly with a zsh shell on an Intel Mac (my 2015 Macbook air) this needs to be added to the .zprofile file:
eval "$(/usr/local/bin/brew shellenv)"
I had to work through the web to fix the problem because of a persistent error message in the Warp terminal after installing Homebrew to install Lynx.
(It took me long enough to manually set up tabs and panes before making a Lynx tab, jeez).
Isn't computing treacherous.
Why you would recommend an Intel Mac to someone?
And why that someone is Hitler?
