I heard that like 2 years ago. Still “soon”. Knowing linux community they will spend another 2 making different “organisations” and then claim “success linux run on ipad!” when it boots with zero devices supported and 90% loss of performance and battery life. Then it will die.

He's right you know; and it's true. This happened when checkra1n was out and we saw a tech demo with 'Linux' on an iPhone 7 [0]. Then we have it running a Ubuntu GUI on an iPhone 7 a year later. [1] However, want to do this yourself? [2] Follow these straightforward and simple 'prerequisites': First get a cross-compiler, git clone, patch, patch, kernel setup, CONFIG_ABCD=XYZ, make build, DFU blah blah blah and after days of trying to duck tape everything, it still crashes as it only works on an iPhone 7. Nothing has materialised in a straightforward 1 click multi-device install like checkra1n has but for 'Installing Linux' on it. Even 'checkra1n' was supposed to be 'open-source' and that still hasn't happened since. If anything goes wrong or a bug happens then restore everything and start all over again. > Knowing linux community they will spend another 2 making different “organisations” and then claim “success linux run on ipad!” when it boots with zero devices supported and 90% loss of performance and battery life. This is the likely case on what is going to happen. It is still "coMiNg vEry vErY SoOn".
