Can the M1 MBA run Windows?
EDIT: Or can it run GNU/Linux natively (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33320765 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33320765)?

We’re far far from the dual booting days, running a mac VM on a Windows machine is probably the holy grail of running every OS on a single machine at this point in time.
