I really love this laptop, but must stand crappy macOS :frowning: Unstable crap, that is :slight_smile: Can’t find Linux distro to put on it and use this laptop like a man :stuck_out_tongue: is there plan to support new Macs?

There is no plans yet… And I’m not a Dev.

You might not have to wait for too long though. Linux 5.13 brings initial but still early support for the Apple M1 with basic support but not yet accelerated graphics and a lot more to iron out moving ahead ( source )

I had to do some digging on this [image] Manjaro ARM 21.06 released! Releases Hi, Do you have or plan to have support for Apple M1 Macs since it is possible to run some Linux ARM distros via Parallels Desktop? Thanks, [image] Manjaro ARM 21.06 rele…

This has more to do with the Linux kernel than with Manjaro itself. 5.13 is bringing preliminary M1 support so you might want to give it a shot in a few months when it lands in manjaro.

To run linux on the hardware directly there needs to be a bootloader which can initiate the hardware. Currently you can only run linux using some workarounds, it will be the same even after linux kernel supports m1 soc.

What’s the story with Mac OS? All I know that it is UNIX based. What is so terrible about it? Just wondering. Sorry if off-topic.

[image] Rus: What is so terrible about it? It’s unstable, doesn’t have virtual consoles when some GUI program goes hayway. Had to do hard reset because of it. Music(iTunes), Steam, you named it easilly crash it. But because of Unix flavor, it is surelly better then Windows. I can use vim,slrn…

Good lord! That’s really really poor OS. And a lot of popular content creators on youtube praising it for its stability, lol… Thank you kindly for the elaborate answer.

Well it’s stable if you don’t push it :stuck_out_tongue: I mean, don’t try much of things, it’s stable, just don’t do this and that :stuck_out_tongue:

I am on the edge to sell this laptop, because crap restores itunes and quick time even after I rm-em -rf after boot crap is back again. This is not system for developers and hard core hackers, rather for someone else…
