GNU tools are generally one command away on macOS. So is nmap, and it takes a lot less than 2 minutes to have it running directly on the host. What's ARM incompatiblw with? Certainly not Linux distros, certainly not GNU tools, and certainly not networking. Not to mention that for most things that don't run native, Rosetta2 makes them work at near native performance.

You can also run Linux on a VM if you want. With the native macOS virtualisation stack in UTM it takes about 2 seconds to have a full Linux VM up and running.
