How is "Apple may run Linux in their cloud, but their laptops don't ;(" not on topic?
Edit: It's not like Apple has any (commercial) interest in working with the Linux kernel developers to ensure support/compatibility even if the M1 is ARM based.
Edit 2: Don't get me wrong, if Apple announces they will support Linux I'll run out the door and buy one now, as a MacOS user.
Edit 3: And this is a criticism against Apple running Intel x86 chips. Do you really think the M1 future is looking rosy for Linux?

- alwillis 6y agoDo you really think the M1 future is looking rosy for Linux? I think fairly soon, we'll have Linux running nicely on Apple Silicon Macs, using the hypervisor built into macOS. And it will run faster than comparable Intel machines. Apple gets the importance of Linux and Docker for developers; I'm pretty sure it'll get worked out.
- breatheoften 6y agoI hope that hypervisor eventually "becomes the os" -- such that macOS or linux or whatever "collected set of software that needs to think it has an ownership relationship to hardware state" can all run on top of essentially the same hypervisor provided hardware abstractions ...
