This is so cool

Options rule

I wish I understood 2/3 of it…

It is cool but parallels has removed my need to dual boot.

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah … I’ve been using umt.

I imagine this is intended for people who don't want to use macOS for some reason.

basically a way to install linux natively on Apple Silicon Macs.

The people who make a Linux distribution for Apple Silicon Macs are proposing this convention for disk partitions so that multiple operating systems can coexist and be recognized by the OS chooser at boot.

Why? I mean if I need a Linux machine, I buy an Intel or AMD machine for half the price and just install Linux. Paying Mac tax makes no sense here.

This is very much said by somebody who’s never used an m1

[-] merci3@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Apple M1 and M2 chips are pretty great, so the "Mac tax" CAN be worth it to some. Also, having the option to install Linux on an Apple machine can prevent it from becoming useless because of planned obsolescence.

Well if you already have an M1 Mac, it’s nice to be able to install a second OS without needing to buy a dedicated Linux machine.
