  1. Correct - but its still depreciated - i.e. they havent updated it in years, and have no plans to do so. They will do the minimum amount of work to keep it working, but thats about it.
  2. As has been said a few times here - The M1 is a great chip. The graphics are the equivalent to a RX560/1050.... but.. Apples OpenGL implementation sucks, so SL runs terribly compared to how it would on windows with equivalent graphics. You will only get equivalent performance on Metal based games, or something not using OpenGL. Easily proved when using a hackintosh - when booted into windows on the exact same hardware SL runs way faster. A native M1 port of Second Life might give a few more fps, but will not change the fact apples openGL support is poor. Do not expect a huge jump in performance unless SL moves to Vulkan or something else. It doesnt matter how good the M1 hardware is, if the software drivers are god awful. The other thing to note is that on the mac you are probably running at retina/high DPI resolutions - the M1 MBA is 2560*1600, thats a lot for even a decent graphics card. Windows machines tend to run lower resolutions. All this coming from a huge Apple fan - but i'm under no false illusions about games on macOS.
