It works incredibly well with Linux VMs, my daily driver. I plug in a USB keyboard, external monitor and Can't Believe It's Not Linux. Only occasionally when I need to use the laptop screen/keyboard does macOS bother me and remind of it real self.
There's around 10-15% performance penalty for VMs (assuming you use arm64 guests), but the whole system is just so much faster and well built than anything Intel-based to day, that it more than compensates.
For Windows, it's lacking accelerated video drivers, but VMWare Fusion is an ok free alternative - I can totally play AAA games from last decade. Enjoy it until broadcom kills it.
