I would like to run and use it as daily driver in my M1 Mac, I’m not a dev, but I don’t care. I can’t learn if I don’t face it. By now I’m fine using Asahi Linux until I learn how to use OpenBSD.

Yeah, OpenBSD is supported in M1/M2. You're even one step forward in that direction already:

Apple systems need to have a UEFI environment installed before OpenBSD can be booted. This can be done by running the Asahi Linux installer. Afterwards you can boot the installer from a USB device connected to one of the ports on the machine.

I read and tried this, but I had problems with the booting from the USB drive part. I tried twice with different USB drives and couldn't do it. Maybe it's the method of creating the bootable USB drive, or maybe it's because I used a USB adapter to read the USB drive.

I’ll try again later.

In the other thread here it sounds like OpenBSD isn't a good idea to use for personal computer and then my guess would be that it won't work on M1. Asahi had to do a lot of work to make it work.
