Right now, I believe only one Fink core person has an M1 machine. I don't know if he's been able to do anything with getting Fink working either bootstrapping or running an existing installation.

I haven’t, no.  Let me know where the actual download location for a fink that kind of works on Big Sur is, and I can give it a try.
