Using iMac as a monitor with Display Port on the Macbook PRO M1 from 2020

Does this work with the new Macbook Pro M1 from 2020? I always used this on my older Macbook (from 2017 or 2018) but ever since I got the 2020 one with the M1 chip it's not working anymore...

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

No. Macs after 2019 do not support Target Display Mode.

2020 M1 Mac MINI using (mid) 2011 (12,2) 27" iMac screen as the monitor (only one)? I'm looking at a 2020 M1 Mac MINI and hope to use my (mid) 2011 (12,2) 27" iMac screen as the monitor (only one). It sounds like even with the correct adapters to connect the "Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4.0-3.1 Gen 2 supports Display Port, Thunderbolt 2, HDMI, DVI, VGA with Adaptor." as stated in the MINI Specs. to my Thunderbolt 2 port on my iMac, this won't work. Is this correct? Is there any other way to make this work?

How can I use my iMac (27, 2013) as monitor with MacBook Air M2 (2022)? It seems that only works with MacBooks from before 2019? Would a separate display port work? I used my old iMac 27 (2013) as display with my MacBook Pro (2017) and it worked great. Now I have the new MacBook Air and I cannot connect to the iMac anymore. Would a Display port (e.g. I-tec dual display) work?
