Porting Linux to Apple Silicon

Windows 10 for ARM can now run on M1 Apple computers Corel has released an update to its package for running virtual machines on Mac called Parallels Desktop. The most important innovation in Parallels Desktop 16.5 is the ability to run ARM versions of Windows on Apple computers with M1 chipsets. The latest version of the software package allows you to run ARM applications for Windows or traditional x86 programs simultaneously with software for Mac OS. The main limitation is introduced by Windo...

Working with Apple Silicon directly is a tough task, a developer attempting to port Linux to run natively on the M1 chip advises, with Apple using a highly customized process to boot the Mac that is different from versions used by other 64-bit ARM systems. In its introduction of Apple Silicon to developers, Apple has provided assistance to developers to port their Intel-compatible apps over to M1. For developers performing more ambitious feats, such as porting Linux over to...

The Asahi Linux project has published the first progress report detailing its effort to port Linux to the the M1 Macs.

Geeky Gadgets 2:28 pm If you have been hoping to run Linux on your new Apple M1 Silicon powered laptop or mini Mac system you may be interested in an article published to the Asahi Linux website detailing the complexities of running Linux on the Apple Silicon. “Apple Silicon Macs boot in a completely different way from PCs. The way they work is more akin to embedded platforms (like Android phones, or, of course, iOS devices), but with quite a few bespoke mechanisms thrown in. However, Apple h...

Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon/M1 in Practice. GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

Why would that be so hard you ask? Doesnt Linux run on almost every processor in the world from 80386s to IBM s390x to SPARC? Hasnt Linux been running on the ARM family since 1995? Yes and yes. But, in earlier cases, Linux developers had access to the chips firmware, microcode, and documentation. Thats not the case with the M1. Torvalds would love to run Linux on these next-generation Macs. "Ive been waiting for an ARM laptop that can run Linux for a long time. The new Air would be almost perf...
