We already have the Mac Mini, but an A14-based SBC would be less of a stretch than an M1. A picoMac, so to speak? That would almost inevitably run MacOS by default rather than Linux, though.

The GPU is make or break for Linux. No GPU means it's just another server in a different form factor.

That's basically the Apple TV.

Let that thing have more standard IO, and run Linux, and it'd be a heck of a fanless machine.
