Can I use a VGA monitor?
Most computers have the VGA, DVI and HDMI connection ports with some laptops coming with thunderbolt, USB ports and an HDMI adapter only. So, for example, if your monitor has a VGA connection, and so does your computer, then use a VGA cable to connect the two. The same applies to any port and cable you may have.
Is there a way to connect a VGA monitor to a Mac mini?

Can a MacBook Air work with a VGA adapter?
No guarantees that it will work, but at least some evidence one way or another. Unfortunately there is a lot of questions regarding legacy devices and the M1 Macs.

Why does Mini DisplayPort not work with VGA?
Just buy the cable or single-adapter you need. Connecting adapter-to-adapter can have all sorts of problems, especially when one of them is VGA. It might be that the mini DisplayPort-to-full DisplayPort adapter doesn’t pass through the VGA signal to the mini DisplayPort-to-VGA. If you’re trying to plug in a VGA display, just get a USB-C-to-VGA.
