Okay, that clarifies, thank you It wasn't immediately clear whether this was intended to be installed *directly* on an M1 (like Asahi) or to run VMs on an M1.

Hello @tpowa,

Can you maybe guess if your ISO will boot on this RK3588 laptop [1]?

It supports UEFI. Debian and Ubuntu are suppossed to work OK.
There's the producer's slightly customised Ubuntu 20.04 ISO at [2], plus installation instructions in Chinese.
Some more information is provided in a video at [3].
The actual product page is at [4], but lacks any information.

You need to test this, my only test machine is my M1 which runs parallels,UTM and virtualbox, no real hardware.
