Linux: Coming Soon to M1 Macbooks

image

Regardless of the chipset or original intended use of any computer system, someone somewhere is going to want to try and run Linux on it. And why not? Linux is versatile and free to use as well as open-source, so it's quite capable of running on almost anything. Of course, it takes a little while for the Linux folk to port the software to brand new hardware, but it's virtually guaranteed that it's only a matter of time before Linux is running on even the most locked-down of hardware, like the M1 MacBooks.

[Hector Martin] aka [marcan] has been hard at work getting Linux up and running on the latest Apple offerings with their ARM-based M1 processors. Since these are completely divorced from their x86 product line the process had to be worked from the ground up which included both booting Linux and modifying the kernel to include support for the hardware. [marcan] has a lot of hardware working such as the USB ports and the SD card slot, and notes that his setup is even compatible with the webcam notch included in the latest batch of MacBooks.

There are a few things still missing. He's running Arch and doesn't have the GPU configured yet, so all of the graphics are rendered in software. But he has put the computer through the wringer including running some computationally-intense software for nearly a full day before realizing that the machine wasn't charging, which did not make much difference in performance. These machines are indeed quite capable with their new ARM chipsets and hopefully his work going forward will bring Linux to the rest of us who still use Macs even if they don't want to run macOS.

(arrived at that from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_AIw9bGogo which in turn i got to from http://www.linuxandubuntu.com/home/obarun-arch-based-linux-distro-without-systemd looking into #obarun and #artix and #parabola seeking to be #withoutsystemd while retaining access to all #distros (including #arch in this case) and their packages (including the superb #aur) through #bedrock (which methinks embodies this article's insight well))

The Last Day of 2018

This is the last day of the year 2018. It is time for many to propose resolutions for them to do in 2019. I personally will start a 90 day #Bible reading plan. I am not sure if it is much of a resolution, but I am going to install an encrypted #Arch #Linux (Or maybe #Parabola #GNU /Linux-libre) operating system on my main machine before I travel. I also will not be on diaspora* nor Mastodon for the next month.

I also have been thinking of what has happened in 2018. It has been an impressive year, and looking back I see some amazing things God has done in my life in particular. I cannot wait for what God has for me in this next year. Since I will be moving to Europe for a while (which is all I will say publicly).

Like many others, I will stay up until midnight and enjoy the festivities and the countdown. Like everyone else, I feel that this last New Year's just passed, and am amazed at how soon 2019 has come.

This last year I have started two different projects which I plan to continue working on. Namely, #Heb12 (a Bible app system), and #LibreCheck (a check-in system like KidCheck for daycares, Sunday Schools, etc.). If you have seen my previous post, you will know that I plan to do a lot of work on LibreCheck in the next few months (if you want to help out, please talk to me!).

What are you planning to do this next year?

I almost lost this account because I couldn't remember my password.
Luckily: I had an old Arch installation where my FireFox remembered my credentials.

So! Now that I'm back...let's see what I can get back into...

My current #Arch #GNU/Linux #linux setup! #KDE5 #plank
