> a personal macbook air, and a tablet. I wish the latest two could simply be merged Un-crippling of Apple Silicon iPads with Magic Keyboards, which have a superset of MacBook Air features, can happen via: - Competition from Linux on Qualcomm Oryon tablets and 2-in-1 - New Apple leadership - EU regulation to unlock dual-boot of other operating systems, like Linux/BSD - Future jailbreak

That's also my wish. The Asahi project somehow gives me a bit of hope but I remember the authors saying that porting it to an iPad is simply not possible because of some booting mechanisms, and dev'in on a jailbroken device was not its preference, which is understandable.

  Those who saved blobs for iOS 16.3.1 can run VMs on their jailbroken Apple Silicon iPad. https://x.com/utmapp/status/1708907045314035986 https://x.com/utmapp/status/1708907045314035986 Apple removed Hypervisor support from XNU in iOS 16.4. Here is a diff of iOS 16.3.1 and iOS 16.4. What this means is that even if a jailbreak/TrollStore comes out for iOS 16.6.1/17.0, there will not be UTM virtualization support, even on M1/M2 iPads.
