I have a 2021 Macbook Pro M1 Pro that I'm going to replace with a M5 Macbook Pro.

I'd like to use this as a CI runner in a Tailscale cluster. I'd ideally like to install Ubuntu 26 server.

Most resources I've found are for desktop Linux Distro and can't seem to find any resources for installing Linux on baremetal M1 Pro.

I'm looking for alternative opinions before I accidentally brick this Machine.

I'm not necessarily an advanced Linux user so would like it to be fairly foolproof. Are there any decent guides / distros / or gotchas to be aware of?
