- sneak 6y agoThis is the best news I’ve heard all day, thank you! I’m totally fine with a chromebook-style unsigned boot warning.
- Asmod4n 6y agoDuring WWDC they said you can't use any other operating System at boot time, only through virtual Machines. Update: here a podcast with Craig Federighi on that matter https://youtu.be/Hg9F1Qjv3iU https://youtu.be/Hg9F1Qjv3iU
- shaicoleman 6y agoLink with timestamp: https://youtu.be/Hg9F1Qjv3iU?t=3772 https://youtu.be/Hg9F1Qjv3iU?t=3772 "we're not direct booting an alternate operating system, it's purely virtualization"
- saagarjha 6y agoYou can, they are just saying Bootcamp isn’t a thing.
- pkulak 6y agoWhy not just support a company that doesn't do this crap?
- katbyte 6y agoBecause most people don’t care?
- sneak 6y agoI would happily. Who else is making 8 core, 18 hour battery life laptops that have >200ppi displays and weigh <=1290g? The choice is now performance xor privacy.
- redwall_hp 6y agoWhy not legislate companies to not do this crap?
- stjohnswarts 6y agoI'd be tempted to buy one if this ends up being the case
- aroman 6y agoBut what would you run on it? What OS besides macOS has support for running on Apple Silicon?
- skohan 6y agoWhat's the meaningful difference from other ARM chips which would make this impossible?
- hocuspocus 6y agoThe bootloader and GPU mostly.
- YetAnotherNick 6y agoWhich ARM chip based device can run linux without the manufacturer's drivers?
- redwall_hp 6y agoApple's not going to ship drivers for Linux, and it's a SoC. So someone needs to somehow write an open source driver for Apple's proprietary black box of a GPU. I suspect very little will work at all if someone can get Linux to boot on one, and it will be a very lengthy endeavor to get things up to being usable.
