Why do you think there is no virtualisation? Apple showed Linux running in a VM during WWDC already.

- zeristor 6y agoI missed that, I assumed virtualisation was dependent on Intel VT. Then again I would have expected them to have discussed it as much as the video editing. I am guessing that they’d need a M2 type chipset for accessing more RAM for that. Or maybe they’ve got a new way to do virtualisation since that is such a key thing these days. Edit: thanks for pointing that out though, that’s why I mentioned it https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization https://developer.apple.com/documentation/virtualization https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23922846 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23922846 And the mentioned Virtio here: http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/Virtio How well this fits in with current virtualisation would be interesting to find out; I guess this will be for a later version of Big Sur, with a new beefier M2 chip.
- deadbunny 6y agoAre they virtualizing x86 though? Having Docker running arm64 on laptops and Docker x86 on servers completely nullifies the main usecase of Docker imo.
- als0 6y agoBut you can run Docker on arm64 servers!
