MORE DIFFERENCES:

The more experience I have with the M1 Mac mini the more subtle but important differences I find between it and the Intel based Macs.

KEXT INSTALLATION
I just installed the new Rogue Ameoba ACE beta kernel extension and it turned into a thirteen step process:
  1. Run Installer Rogue Ameoba installer
  2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy
  3. Click padlock and enter administrative password
  4. Click on Restart button in the Security & Privacy window and wait for complete shutdown
  5. Press and hold power button[b] until progress bar appears
  6. Select admin account and enter password
  7. Change Security Setting
  8. Restart
  9. Enter password (system Preferences > Security & Privacy appears)
  10. Click on padlock and enter password
  11. Approve Kext installation
  12. Restart
  13. Quit System Preferences


As near as I can tell pressing and holding the Power Button is the M1 equivalent of ⌘R on Intel Macs but it went into the M1 equivalent of the T2 settings because

[b]SHOW EMOJI & SYMBOLS

Control+Command+Space (∧⌘␠) no longer opens Emoji & Symbols that is now done by the Fn key.
