Access borked MacOS system from Linux boot disk?

So, my EFI works but the boot halts after displaying the Apple logo.

Is there any Linux distro that I can boot and from there access the MacOS disk? It's BigSur with the new filesystem, so I guess I am out of luck. Most of my files are on iClould thank god, but there are some stuff locally that I would like to recover.

I have tried all keyboard shortcuts for recovery, no go. I also have an external TM backup (a few weeks old).
