    I usually take my M1 MBA with me when traveling. But I have UTM on it which can run win11/aarch64 and linux, too.

    this is too evasive as an answer because i asked if you had to choose (forced) only 1 OS which would it be?

    ok - if I didn't have to support people running software on other OSes, e.g. I was only using it for my own enjoyment, I would probably use Linux. BUT - I do prefer the M1 MBA's hardware, so maybe Asahi Linux, though I haven't tested it specifically.

    Is this UTM thing okay for testing audio-related things on Win or Linux? Or just GUI? Wondering about the audio performance.

    UTM for arm OSes is virtualization rather than emulation.. so generally pretty good performance but you're not likely to get low latency hardware support in. Fine for editing/playback but not good for recording, IMO.
