Before we get too excited by the title of the article which looks too good to offer what you may think it offers, in reality it is still virtualization with in macOS allowing Linux to be run as a guest and not a full installation.

#12I was expecting something more than full machine emulation I guess. But there's no way apple would publish instruction on replacing macOS with Linux.

#13Dang, title should be “Create macOS or Linux virtual machines”
Re: Create macOS or Linux virtual machines
#14"We'll also explore how you can install and run full Linux distributions on Apple silicon, and share how you can take advantage of Rosetta 2 to run x86-64 Linux binaries." That sounds like running Linux on bare metal...
Or it is just going to be a video demonstrating this:

#15I was very excited, very briefly, by the title of this post. Now very disappointed.
Well, Asahi Linux is a thing

#16This is extremely basic stuff that I would expect any half decent computer to be able to do. I'd be more surprised if it were impossible but I guess this is Apple we're talking about.
Getting access to Rosetta for VMs could be a big win as I don’t think it was available previously so you were stuck with much slower QEMU based x86_64 emulation.

#17I'd love a supported and streamlined option to provision native macOS VM's. Currently other solutions leave much to be desired.

Literally "dangit!" and also dang

The title and the Apple domain made it look for a second like an officially supported solution to run Linux directly on Apple silicon. This would have been so much more than Asahi Linux.
The title should have been "Create macOS or Linux virtual machines" but I guess OP chose something that sounds more attractive and "votable".

#20Wait... can't we already do this using UTM?!?
