VMware sells a Mac version of their product called VMware Fusion. Mac is not a cost-effective platform for running VMware player, thus its free trial is not provided. Neither the GNU/Linux version nor the version from BSD Ports will work. There is no free version of VMware Workstation Player for Mac OS X.
Parallels Desktop 17 (subscription) is compatible with Big Sur on M1 devices, but the guest operating system must be compiled for Apple Silicon ARM, as X86_64 operating systems are not supported.
Oracle has not released a version of VirtualBox compatible with M1 devices. If this will change in the future is currently unknown but it doesn’t appear very likely as the Oracle has not said anything about it whereas others like VMWare Fusion and Parallels have both had support pledged for them. You unfortunately cannot run VirtualBox on Macs with Apple’s M1 chip.
