Can't you just install Linux on both machines?

Linux for Macs with M1 architecture is still in development. There's a team that's currently reverse engineering the M1 GPU to create linux drivers for it ... but until that's finished, unfortunately no, you can't just install Linux on both systems :/

Using the in-progress Asahi Linux to benchmark the hardware could be justified as hampering the hardware even more than MacOS's limited support for mainstream graphics APIs.

The GPU is not supported yet in Asahi Linux.
