Apple's best SoC ARM-based chip for the Mac, the M1, now has the chance to meet one of the best and top tier computer-based operating system, Linux OS, thanks to Corellium who recently released its early beta. Downloads are already available for users worldwide, but its developers and team are suggesting to wait for another confirmation for its beta release.
Linux is a developer-preferred operating system that differs from the more user-friendly OS in the world, which is the Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac. The operating system faced the trials of time, usability, and number of users, to which it did not falter, and remained to be one of the most preferred, being a kernel that eluded UNIX and its core code.
The company that is known for creating a bug finder in Apple's operating system (and initially won a lawsuit against the Cupertino giant), Corellium, has developed a Linux OS that can run on the latest ARM-based chip. While macOS 11, also known as the "Big Sur," is the main OS, Apple's Mac also accommodates other OS like Windows and Linux on its platform.

Corellium's M1 Mac 'Very Early Beta' Release
According to Corellium's tweet and CTO Chris Wade (@CorelliumHQ), the company has released a "very early beta" of the Linux OS that can run on Apple's M1 chip, enabling a multiplatform run on Mac computers. However, this release, being on the early beta, is recommended for advanced users who know how to run it without assistance from the company.
Here is a very early beta of Linux on the m1 for *advanced users only*. https://t.co/pFLgksZsdw if you don't know how to run this then wait till tomorrow when the more complete release with USB, SMP is posted (with instructions).

The Corellium CTO has already issued a fair warning for people regarding Linux's complexity in downloading, installing, and running on the next-generation ARM-based chips of the Mac lineup. The company is still in the early stages of Linux's Mac version development and is still working on integrating it fully on the new platform by Apple.
We recommend waiting until a version is posted that has stable USB. It will not be useful to most users until then. Check back tomorrow 💪 https://t.co/y3HCgIUynl

Instructions are soon to follow the release of the early beta of Linux on the M1 Macs, which can be installed via the "Command + R" method and using an external drive and the SMP method. Wade said that users need to wait until tomorrow, January 18, or the succeeding days of the week for the process' complete step-by-step installation.
Corellium Linux Beta for Apple's M1 Mac: How to Download
Corellium's Linux for M1 Macs is called the "Linux Macho," which features the early beta stages of the operating system that aims to work on Apple'1 M1-powered Mac computers. This feature would allow users to use the robust powers of the Silicon chip to run Linux and perform or proceed to do their work or what's needed.
The early beta download of the Linux Macho is available on Corellium's website and is recommended for advanced users who know how to manipulate both the macOS and Linux OS to make it work. Instructions are to follow from Corellium.
