You know, Apple runs a lot of servers too. Those servers run Linux. Why wouldn't Apple want to run Linux on their own chips? The power savings would be enormous. Apple could port Linux without much trouble. It's just Linux drivers -- they are very capable of the work. Something like a less beautiful Mac Mini M1 would probably suit their server needs decently. I wish they would sell the chips and boards as XServe again though, and perhaps offer some cloud computing too. I don't see it happening though -- they are going all in on the consumer market.
