I use Ubuntu in a VM on the M1. As I mentioned there are currently some restrictions but the direction already looks quite promising. At least far away from any earliest days ... Kind regards Thomas -- Linux ... enjoy the ride!

Unfortunately, Apple don?t have Fusion or Parallels or VirtualBox installed on their demo-units.
