"The main problem with the M1 for me is the GPU and other devices around it, because that's likely what would hold me off using it because it wouldn't have any Linux support unless Apple opens up."
In an exclusive interview, Torvalds expanded on why he can't see porting Linux to the M1-based Macs. And I don't have the time to tinker with it, or the inclination to fight companies that don't want to help." The new Air would be almost perfect, except for the OS. As he said, "I've been waiting for an ARM laptop that can run Linux for a long time. Torvalds would like to run Linux on these next-generation Macs. They exist, but they have certainly not been real competition for x86 so far." "For ten years or so I'd be complaining about the fact that it's really, really hard to find ARM hardware that is usable for development. Yes, he pointed out, "Apple may run Linux in their cloud, but their laptops don't ("Īt this year's virtual Linux Foundation Open Source Summit and Embedded Linux Conference, VMware's Chief Open Source Officer, Dirk Hohndel asked Torvalds if now that Apple is switching its Macs to ARM, would this move "change the landscape of the hierarchy of CPUs?" Torvalds thought it might. Torvalds explained he has "fairly fond memories of the 11" Macbook Air (I think 4,1) that I used about a decade ago (but moved away from because it took Apple too long to fix the screen - and by the time they did, I'd moved on to better laptops, and Apple had moved on to make Linux less convenient)." But it takes more than a processor to run a computer.Īlso: The new M1 Macs make cutting-edge, machine-learning workstations You may think, "what's the problem? Doesn't Linux run on practically every processor on the planet from 80386s to IBM s390x to the ARM family of which Apple's M1 chip is a child?" Well, yes, yes it does.
