not officially support, but there still ways to install Linux on Intel Mac.
But according to Craig Federighi in the video, Apple will not allow (or will ban) booting to other OS on Apple Silicon Macs.
Maybe we need to find a bootrom bug to install linux in the future like iPhone.
- NovemberWhiskey 6y agoI think you might be reading too much into what's a tiny snippet of video - he's asked about Boot Camp and says something like "we're not direct booting an alternate operating system". It seems a stretch to hear that as "Apple will not allow (or will ban) booting to other OS". I hear it as "there is no Apple software for booting other OSes on ARM". It remains to be seen whether Apple will take advantage of this change to introduce some tighter, secure boot type controls that might impact the ability to boot other OSes. I can see that happening, but more as a side-effect rather than an insidious plan to mess with all 0.003% (or whatever) of their user base that currently dual boots Linux.
- teknopaul 6y agoIt's not a stretch. It's modus operandi. You cannot even install software on their phones.
- my123 6y agoSecure Boot can be turned off on Arm macs, not the problem. As a part of checkra1n, we have the pongoOS bootloader which can boot Linux on jailbroken phones. I'll port that over to Arm macs don't worry.
- zepto 6y agoIn WWDC talks they hand said you can run whatever software you want. Apple treats phones differently from Macs.
