There is a good chance to run it inside a VM, already shown at WWDC, so it only depends on Parallels/VMWare releasing their updates for the M1. On the bare machine, it is somewhat unsure. Currently it is not possible, but it is not clear how difficult it would be. In any case, the question would be about driver development, as this is a completely custom computer. But as the Mini isn't expensive and this is a really interesting chip, I could imagine, that a lot of Linux hackers are trying to get it running. Even Linus Torwalds expressed interest in the M1 MB Air.
