Linux

Booting Linux on Apple Silicon will be a primary goal of jailbreakers. Linux can also run in a virtual machine, which was demoed in a beta version of Parellels at WWDC.

QEMU
x86_64 versions of Linux run in qemu via utm

Parellels
There is a preview version of Parellels that supports M1 but only does basic virtualization and doesn't have Parellels tools yet. Ubuntu server with GUI confirmed working. Debian and Fedora also work with some modifications to efi.

Asahi Linux
Marcan42 is funding a native port. It is called Asahi Linux. It has made a lot of progress and now it is possible to install a dual boot with MacOS using a terminal command that downloads an installer script.
