I can only hope. It would also be nice to see proper Linux support, but I guess that's wishful thinking from Apple.

Yeah... personally that is what makes me most reticent about M1 and future products.

With intel you know virtual machines and what not will just work, here Apple actually has to provide driver information and such or we’ll all just rely on hacks which could change generation to generation :(

Virtual machines work, Apple provides not just Hypervisor.framework but also Virtualization.framework as part of macOS so implementing a headless VM app is less than a page or so of code.
What would be the point of (and what even is) “proper Linux support?” It’s a Mac, why would you get it not to use as a Mac?
