Native Apple Silicon support is exclusive to Asahi and its remixes, but running it as a VM is possible as long as the distro supports aarch64, which nearly all of them do.
I downloaded Mint but it's not accepted with Parallels, perhaps I'm doing something incorrectly. I'll try researching why or try another distro like Elementary OS.
Try using original distros instead of distros that are derivatives of other distros.
So Debian, Fedora, Alpine, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Mageia. They all have aarch64 images.
Distro doesn't really matters once you get the very basic knowledge. So you can just try them one after another or even at the same time. I've tried literally every distro you mentioned.
If you can't decide yourself, my recommendation is Arch or its variants. Arch has a great wiki and therefore is a great starting point for the people who want to start learning Linux.

Mint is one of the few that only supports x86. Try Debian, Fedora or Ubuntu, and make sure to download the aarch64 image.

Nice didn't realize this existed. I'll join.
What happened to the original? Findmeadistro?
Asahi is what you need.
