    I am aware that with Parallels on M1, you'd now need an ARM-compatible Linux images to install as guests. I don't see RHEL 8.4 offered in the list of new Parallels-blessed Linux images that will install as guests on M1 hosts.
    Has anyone tried installing RHEL 8.4 (or RHEL 8 in general) as a guest on an M1 host, did it work and what specific image should one download and install from?

    Hello,

    For the kernel, it won't run, ever. (for regular RHEL7/8 and derivatives) Those have their kernel built targeting a 64KB granule size. M1's MMU supports 4KB or 16GB granules, but not 64KB.
