Now very disappointed.
- paraboul 4y agoWell, Asahi Linux is a thing
- buran77 4y agoThe title and the Apple domain made it look for a second like an officially supported solution to run Linux directly on Apple silicon. This would have been so much more than Asahi Linux. The title should have been "Create macOS or Linux virtual machines" but I guess OP chose something that sounds more attractive and "votable".
- CodeBeater 4y agoWell, not to bash the OP, but a "votable" title does distracts us from a conversation about the actual changes to Mac OS.
- hugolundin 4y agoI might have misinterpreted the session description, but “We’ll also explore how you can install and run full Linux distributions on Apple Silicon” is the sentence that made me post this in the first place. Edit: Also, while I agree that the title sounds click baity, it is a quote from the description, that I wanted to highlight. Using the session title wouldn’t have done that. Guess we’ll see, when the session drops tomorrow.
- olalonde 4y agoOpposite reaction here.
- drusepth 4y agoThis looks like it's just running Linux VMs as a guest in macOS, right? Was that not already possible on macOS, or just not possible on the M1/M2 chips?
- olalonde 4y agoIt was not possible on M1/M2 chips (aside from a commercial solution, Parallels, which is €99.99/yr).
- chrisseaton 4y agoWhat was Docker doing?
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- saagarjha 4y agoNope, it was possible and the API is open for anyone to use. UTM (open source, $10 for a built product) supports it.

- saagarjha 4y agoYou can attach a GUI to the VM now.
- SmellTheGlove 4y agoSame, but I re-read the text: Learn how you can use the Virtualization framework to quickly create virtual machines on your Mac. We'll show you how to create a virtual Mac and quickly test changes to your app in an isolated environment. We'll also explore how you can install and run full Linux distributions on Apple silicon, and share how you can take advantage of Rosetta 2 to run x86-64 Linux binaries. (emphasis mine) the way that bit reads suggests installing on bare metal too.
- blumomo 4y ago> We'll also explore how you can install and run full Linux distributions on Apple silicon … in a VM on macOS as the host system.
- dang 4y agoChanged now. (Submitted title was "Run full Linux distributions on Apple Silicon")
- lamontcg 4y agoI'm still reasonably excited by the new title of this post. Virtualization support is one of the things I've still been missing on the M1.
- selcuka 4y agoVMware Fusion M1 Tech Preview has been available since last September. Give it a try.
- karmelapple 4y agoI've desperately been trying to get an account with VMware, and I simply cannot. Every account I've tried making doesn't let me login. Is there some trick to letting me give them money?
- selcuka 4y agoNo idea (I don't work for VMware), have you tried contacting support?
- karmelapple 4y agoI sure did. Radio silence.
