But my Surface Pro X can run Linux inside WSL2. Apps made arm32, arm64, and x86 32bits just works, both Windows and Linux terminal apps, or GUIs if I install an X11 Server.
And I can install whatever application I want, and not what Apple allows me to. It might be a bit slower, but it is more flexible.

I've heard this repeated elsewhere as well, and I'm quite confused about it. Because, Apple also shared this weird screenshot: https://images.macrumors.com/t/_vG0G6_BcznVoKBolteArd1wReM=/800x0/filters:quality(90)/article-new/2020/06/apple-silicon-mac-startup-security-screen.jpg https://images.macrumors.com/t/_vG0G6_BcznVoKBolteArd1wReM=/... The most permissive option is "Reduced Security: Allows any version of signed operating system software ever trusted by Apple to run." How do you run an OS that Apple never explicitly trusted?

- AgloeDreams 6y agoUhhh... how is this any different? Thy have stated that the download options on these macs will be any source you want, ARM and Intel Mac apps, plus docker support for linux and etc. It's the same stack.
- alwillis 6y agoThese ARM Macs will also run iOS apps too.
