#2Great progress already thanks to Corellium for the M1 linux projects [0][1], the PongoOS project and to all others involved.
Getting GPU acceleration is now the real challenge.

#3That is some insanely fast progress. Well done and hats off to all involved.

#4This was quite fast considering that Apple opened up booting custom objects sometime last week…it seems to still be software rendering for now, but it's good to see this progressing so quickly. It seems that there is effort being put into upstreaming this too (despite a couple of unfortunately hitches :/) so we might be seeing this ready for general-purpose use quite soon!

#5I hadn't thought about Yellow Dog Linux in years until seeing this. Discontinued in 2012, which is understandable after Apple's switch to Intel.

#6This is cool but technically I'd say it would need to use the disk in the Mac to be running "on" the Mac.

#7There's a bit of competition now going between asahi and corellium. While most of the spicy tweets have been removed, there's a summary https://twitter.com/AsahiLinux/status/1350547056679477250
Essentially, while this project may be quicker to get visible results, they may not be able to release all the code kosher for merging upstream. It will be interesting to see the next steps.

Why's that? If I netboot Linux on my desktop PC, is it not running "on" my desktop PC?
Is the CPU/SoC not the thing on which then operating system is running?

Ah the memories of yaboot blessing /dev/hda1 with holy penguin pee...!

#10A Raspberry Pi powered by something similar to the M1 or A14 bionic processor would be something. The Broadcom 1.5 GHz 64-bit quad-core ARM Cortex-A72 that powers the latest raspberry pi, is nothing compared to the new processor beasts from Apple.
