And yet people have done it with Linux just fine... Linus himself run a G5 as his desktop (circa 2003-2005) and later a Macbook Air as his daily driver laptop (circa 2011-2013...)

But this was not on an M1.

This was on an AMD64 system that was far less Apple-specific as far as I know.

Yes, but the parent comment said " especially on the M1", implying that that was the case on Intel too...
