Runs very nicely on my Intel Mac. I’ve installed it to an SSD attached to a USB port. It would make a good alternative to macOS especially on some
older slower Macs but need to check the specs first.

I did like ElementaryOS when I tried it on a 2012 MBA. The only downside
was battery life suffered somewhat.

I used Elementary 5 for a while but can't say I noticed
battery life issues. I see 6 is now avaialble - have you
tried that yet?

No. This was... a year ago or more. Think I only tried it as the MBA
('spares or repair') wouldnd't sleep (the only fault). Fixed that with
a motherboard swap, so eOS wasnt needed.

Yes it must be at least a year since I last used it. Based on
Ubuntu like several other distros. I had a motherboard failure with a
2013 MBA - might have been an issue with that era of MBAs!

The next step is to build a VM using the equivalent ARM iso under Parallels on my M1 machine. VMs using an older Ubuntu arm server iso ran like a
rocket! It should also be possible to create a VM using UTM (and QEMU on which it’s based).

There are lots of M1 support limitations though. No M1 desktop Ubuntu for a start, while I've run into some issues with Multipass that I haven't yet got to the bottom of.

I'm not familiar with Multipass and perhaps, not being a developer, I should not "play" with it on my Intel Mac. (Well at least until I've RTFM ;) )
On my M1 Mac I've created a usable VM from scratch on my M1 Mac under UTM

It's not going to do any harm. Mind you something gobbled up 64GB of free disk
space the other day before relinquishing it, and Multipass was one of the things running...
As for the FM, that's one thing that should be getting better.

Desktop all included?

When you say no M1 desktop Ubuntu, do you just mean there's no install ISO for ubuntu-22.04-desktop-arm64? If you install the server version in a VM, you
should be able to install the 'ubuntu-desktop' package and it will install all the desktop environment.
If you want a UI for that, install the 'tasksel' package and run 'tasksel' - it'll give you options to install bundles like 'Ubuntu desktop' or 'Publishing applications'.
UTM also works fine if you don't have Parallels - it uses QEMU, but for arm-on-arm it hooks into the MacOS hypervisor framework so should be equivalently speedy. It'll also do x86-on-arm, more slowly. If you really want to run Windows XP on M1, UTM is the way to do it.

Click on Current and scroll down. You’ll see an ARM Desktop ISO link. I used an earlier one a couple of days ago to create a UTM VM.

Great to see a standard desktop iso for arm64.

But there is not currently any way to have it run natively on M1 - unless I am
behind the bleeding edge of progress, which happens more often these days. For
example, is dual-booting an M1 machine a possibility yet?

Running a VM in Parallels on my M1 machine now. It comes with the
stndard Gnome desktop but as Theo points out you should be able
to use tasksel to install other environments. When you install
Parallels Tools, run the CLI installer as the GUI version seems
to forget it needs to download a couple of config files before
proceeding!

Ah yes. But unfortunately, for me it has to be Ubuntu Linux!

Thanks, but I'm happy with UTM and I also prefer Xubuntu so may try the tasksel option.

I'm trying UTM right now.
I installed ubuntu-22.04-live-server-arm64 from the ISO, and got the server installation up and running.
Then I installed ubuntu-desktop and rebooted - but immediately I log in to the
desktop environment it sends me back to the login screen. I'm assuming it's a case of something I've botched along the way.
