FWIW, only aarch64 builds of Linux have any chance of running

and only aarch54 builds of desktop environments and apps will run.


An ARM64 based computer simply cannot boot an Intel OS.


FWIW, I have tested some aarch64 flavors of Linux with QEMU

which is utilizing Apples ARM64 virtualization framework and

it shows some promise.


As far as externally booting Linux, it is still an adventure just

trying to get an M1 Mac to boot Big Sur externally which is

a coin toss more often than not let alone Linux.
