I run an M1 Macbook and SSH into my VMs.  Support for M1 isn’t full as far as I can tell, which is also why I would be interested in helping as well….

So I’ve run various Linux distributions as my main desktop for a long time.  At some point my workplace moved to macbooks for a variety of reasons, but essentially I install homebrew, run X, and remote into any VMs.  I use Emacs + TRAMP to access files, and  I’m really comfortable on the command line.  

I’m mostly interested in the console and not anything graphical (KDE/Gnome)
