From the sounds of it, Apple hasn't put anything in the way of installing Linux or Windows on the M1 based Macs. They don't have the sort of built in support the Intel based Macs have, but they should be able to boot Linux or Windows on bare metal.
Recently there was a Apple support article posted here on HN detailing it.

- mhh__ 6y agoMaking Linux work on an ARM SOC is a lot harder than on a regular laptop. It basically requires help from the vendor to make the peripherals and such work, although there. Will be a lot of eyes on this so I'd be surprised if someone hasn't got it working within a year or so (working is not equal to usable)
