"We'll also explore how you can install and run full Linux distributions on Apple silicon, and share how you can take advantage of Rosetta 2 to run x86-64 Linux binaries." That sounds like running Linux on bare metal...

Or it is just going to be a video demonstrating this:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization/run...

It's annoyingly ambiguous. The "on Apple silicon" and "full Linux" strongly suggest it's bare metal. (Why say it that way if it's not?)

But the title is "Create macOS or Linux virtual machines", which strongly suggests it's not bare metal.

But sometimes people write titles that only hit the biggest highlights, and the title may not mention everything that's in the video, so it's not impossible that it's Mac VMs, Linux VMs, and Linux bare metal.

Yeah the vagueness is annoying. They let us run windows via boot camp why not let us run Linux on bare metal? A man can dream. But kudos to the asahi Linux folks — they’re doing amazing work.
