Used LinuxMint for years as the goto Linux distro in a VM on Mac Intel. Since I moved to Apple Silicon, Mint can't run since they unfortunately don't provide ARM builds . what would be the compatible alternative ?

Asahi is what the project to get Linux running on modern macs is called. For a stable Mint-like experience there's a Debian version (Mint is based off Debian) that includes the Cinnamon desktop as an option in the installer, so that would be most similar to what you're familiar with. (worth mentioning though that Fedora is the flagship Asahi version, so that may be more stable. I don't have personal experience)
