- ogre_codes 6y agoI suspect people interested in "superfast, supercool ARM-based Linux laptops" are looking more for running on bare metal, not in a VM.
- wmf 6y agoLinux on M1 bare metal is also in the works.
- the_af 6y agoIf Linux can be made to run on M1 bare metal, I expect it will. And computing history shows us Linux can be made to run on anything ;)
- ogre_codes 6y agoI expect (very much hope) it will. I haven't contributed to the Linux on M1 fund yet, but I am seriously considering it, particularly if I get an M1 Mac. I likely wouldn't run Linux until after Apple retires MacOS for the M1, but want the option.
- cestith 6y agoPlease read the first sentence again. Porting is underway. It's already running under ARM to ARM emulation, but porting is underway.
