Some of us are already working with people who have Apple M1 computers to do testing/benchmarking on them:

More benchmarks should be added later today.
Unlike iOS devices, the Apple Silicon Macs are not locked down. They can run any userspace program you want. As for operating systems other than macOS: they use an implementation of Secure Boot, but it can be disabled and custom code can be loaded, even as early as the kernel. The tooling to enable this was not present in the release OS, but is being added to macOS 11.1, which is currently in beta: https://twitter.com/comex/status/1328800304318603265
That said, even though you hypothetically will be able to boot something like Linux, it will take effort to make it correctly function. Porting Linux, drivers, etc to this platform is not something Apple is going to do for you!
