Linux can now be installed on computers with an M1 chip
It's been two years since Apple released the M1 chips for its own devices. This is designed to work with the company's own operating system and did not support the installation of other systems.
People who buy an Apple device rarely change the operating system, however, there are some people who like to try new things. That is why the Asahi Linux team got down to work to get a stable and fully functional version.
They've done it (at least at an early stage) and it's now possible to install Linux on computers using Apple M1 processors.
The project is in Alpha version
The development team has just released an alpha version of Asahi Linux, a system that can be installed on newer Apple computers. This operating system is based on Arch Linux, a system that is easy to customize and quite stable.
However, we already said that it is an alpha version, so it is not yet complete. In fact, there are several functions, such as DisplayPort or Thunderbolt, that do not work. However, if you are one of those people who likes to try new things, this may be an option to consider.
These are not the only problems, as GPU acceleration will also be inaccessible, causing the computer to lose performance. However, despite this, he can move quite freely.
Is it worth trying this operating system?
Without a doubt, installing this operating system on a computer with an M1 chip is a big risk. This system is in a very early stage of development, so it is not 100% safe to install it.
However, if you are a technology enthusiast, you can install this operating system. It is important to mention that this operating system is designed in a rather "handmade" way.
One of the advantages when installing this operating system is that you won't need to delete the macOS partition to install it. You will be able to have a double boot between Linux and Mac, which makes it ideal for many.
In summary, if you are a Linux user, with Asahai Linux you will be able to take advantage of all the power of Linux and all the power offered by Apple's M1 chips. This is a very promising project and it is expected that in the coming months we will be able to see a version of this system that is much more stable and fully functional.
