Macbooks with M-series CPUs can be configured to boot arbitrary payloads: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/security/sec7d92dc49f/1/web/1 (see "Permissive Security policy")
This is the mechanism used to boot alternate OSes like Asahi Linux.
The new Macbook Neo uses an A18 Pro CPU. Can it be configured to support booting arbitrary user-provided (non-macOS) payloads?

Good, should always on a PC be able to press a key or similar right at the start of boot to enter the bios setup and configure it, including arbitrary drive to boot from, that you can put your own information on.
