The question is will I be able to install Debian on it? Is the bootloader going to be locked like iPhones? Is the ISA going to be different from Aarch64 on commodity ARM boards? Will the only supported compiler be Apple LLVM?
- 1_player 6y agoRunning Linux is already not very straight forward on modern x86 Apple hardware, it would be extremely surprised to see the ARM Apple running Linux anytime soon. It'll happen, eventually, when the open source community will reverse engineer them and find how to "jailbreak" them.
