Why's that? If I netboot Linux on my desktop PC, is it not running "on" my desktop PC? Is the CPU/SoC not the thing on which then operating system is running?

Is the CPU/SoC not the thing on which then operating system is running?
- coldtea 6y agoTechnically yes. But people want to have an M1 laptop on which they can run Linux. Not a laptop + external disk + other baggage.
- JosephRedfern 6y agoI agree with that. But given the context -- an experimental build targetting a new SoC, I wouldn't personally dispute the claim that it's running on an M1 machine. If the tweet was claiming that it was ready to go for general use and that everyone should install it and use it as their daily driver, then I could see that the external boot disk caveat would be more significant... but it seems kind of irrelevant in the context of what they've achieved so far.
