Requires an Apple Silicon Mac to run. > You need an Apple silicon Mac to build and run Containerization. > To build the Containerization package, your system needs either: > macOS 15 or newer and Xcode 26 Beta > macOS 26 Beta 1 or newer Those on Intel Macs, this is your last chance to switch to Apple Silicon, (Sequoia was the second last)[0] as macOS Tahoe is the last version to support Intel Macs.

Any linux or bsd that has goodhardwawe support for intel mac?

  For the older ones with Broadcom WiFi I was able to get stock Ubuntu working great by following this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wireless-drivers https://askubuntu.com/questions/55868/installing-broadcom-wi... Not sure about the newer ones. Gathering this information and putting together a distro to rescue old Macbooks from the e-waste bin would be a worthwhile project. As far as I can tell they're great hardware. I imagine things get harder once you get into the USB-C era.

    This site is very useful for getting Linux on more recent Intel Macs - I was able to get Ubuntu running on a 2018 MBA https://t2linux.org/ https://t2linux.org/

Also, there are some really amazing deals on used/refurb M2 Macs out there. ~$700 for a Macbook Air is a pretty great value, if you can live with 16GB of RAM and a okay but not amazing screen.

  a 30% discount for a 3 yr old machine is good? A new one is $999.

    When the 3yo machine does 100% of what you need without missing a beat and has 8h screen-on battery life, yes, yes, it is

  Even better deals on M1s which aren't much slower than M2s

  $450 for a M4 Mac mini (at Microcenter, but Best Buy will price match) is possibly the best computer hardware deal out there. It is an incredible machine.

    Having run a Mac Mini with a 256GB internal drive for 2-3 years I will dispute that anyone should buy base models for that reason. MacOS makes it as painful as possible for you to use external drives. For instance, no software for "cloud" drives (google drive, onedrive, icloud drive) is allowed to locate its local copy on an "External" drive, so you can't keep your files locally and in the cloud, have to pick one. Photos can have its library moved at least. I like the hardware, hate the absurd greedy storage and RAM prices.

      AI FOMO at least made them bump the base RAM to 16GB. 256GB is pitiful but manageable if you don't need to handle large files. And jumping up to $800 just for another 256GB is absolutely not worth it.
