I am looking at two compatibility points regarding M1-macOS. First, will VMWare (and Parallels and virtualBox) run x86 Windows VMs on M1 and second, will Linux run natively on M1 (even though I don’t do much Linux). Until these two things are taken care of, M1-MacOS will just be (an important) niche system.
