Ask HN: What will happen to Apple Silicon devices once Apple ends updates?
Is Asahi Linux the way to prolong the lifespan of M-serie MacBooks?
- dotcoma 1y agoWhen do they expect the last update for the Macbook M1 ? And why Asahi Linux ?
- yu3zhou4 1y agoAround 2030 I think. As far as I know, Asahi is the only Linux distro that is capable of running on Apple Silicon
- dotcoma 1y agoThanks. I’ll take a look and maybe send a little money their way.
- al_borland 1y agoApple typically provides official support for 5-7 years after a product is last sold. Up to 10 for batteries. https://support.apple.com/en-us/102772 https://support.apple.com/en-us/102772
- dotcoma 1y agoThanks.
- bigyabai 1y agoThe same thing that happens to all vintage Macs. Apple discontinues support, tells you to recycle it and buy a new machine. Asahi is only an option for devices which support it, which today is limited to M1/M2 only.
