Sorry, but no: https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m1/#tab...
Can't even drive an external display over the DP.
Linux support on Apple hardware is subpar compared to ARM Thinkpads.
I guess it's the physical HDMI port that's needed, as Minis and the Pro laptops have working monitor HDMI monitor support?
How did you upgrade the soldered storage?
Take it to a shop which cnc mills the original one off and solders a compatible new one on. Maybe you can desolder the old one, but why bother.
Sounds easy. Why bother getting a laptop with replaceable storage anyway?

There’s a guy who offers it for a very reasonable fee in USA. I’ve used his services a few times with great success! Email me, I wouldn’t want to post someone else’s contact info publicly.
This is exhibit A in why Apple needs to adopt 2230 NVMe drives and stop this ridiculous soldered flash storage scam.
