I prefer x86 machines but M1's bootloaders are unlocked and Apple made some changes to facilitate running Linux: https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1471799568807636994?ref_...

I still prefer open architectures, but the situation is better than with previous Macs, Chromebooks and even some PCs.

Apple did something that they don't know why, so that meams it has to be to support Linux!

The majority of the hardware is not supported, and Apple has not provided any specs. Just having an unlocked bootloader is not Linux friendly.
