- asddubs 6y agoAFAIK this was always planned for the m1 macs
- rsynnott 6y agoI'm not sure there's ever been a Mac where you couldn't boot your own OS. Maybe the very, very early ones, but Linux for the later M68k and PPC Macs was definitely a thing.
- pharmakom 6y agoPersonally, I will only consider a mac if there is the option to run Linux.
- alwillis 6y agoI used to support a lab of triple-bootable Macs—macOS/Windows/Linux. Current macOS is more locked down due to privacy and security threats primarily, not because Apple doesn’t want you to boot a non-Apple OS.
