Linux enthusiasts rejoice\u2014there\u2019s a <\/span>new Linux port<\/span><\/a> for App<\/a>le\u2019s M1 Macs that allows them to run Ubuntu! A security firm named Corellium just successfully ported Ubuntu to the new Macs and released a handy tutorial for anyone interested in installing it on their own computer. This Ubuntu includes USB support and boots into the regular user interface, as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to pore over the specifics of the process, Corellium has a detailed technical writeup on its blog <\/span>you can check out<\/span><\/a>. The main challenge in creating the port was that Apple\u2019s non-standard chips made it difficult to create the Linux drivers necessary to get Ubuntu running correctly, despite the fact that many M1 components are also found on Apple\u2019s mobile chips.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Apple being, well, Apple, there was never any native support designed for booting non-Apple operating systems. However, the fact that the new M1 Macs were not designed with dual-boot features in mind didn\u2019t do much to deter developers and Linux enthusiasts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Linux is now completely usable on the Mac mini M1. Booting from USB a full Ubuntu desktop (rpi). Network works via a USB c dongle. Update includes support for USB, I2C, DART. We will push changes to our GitHub and a tutorial later today. Thanks to the @CorelliumHQ<\/a> team \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\ude4f pic.twitter.com\/uBDbDmvJUG<\/a><\/p>\n

Chris Wade, the CTO of Corellium said the new Ubuntu port is \u201ccompletely usable\u201d on a Mac mini M1 from a USB boot, though you\u2019ll need a USB-C dongle for networking along with some familiarity with custom kernels. Corellium also posted a <\/span>tutorial<\/span><\/a> on its site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hector Martin, a developer with a passion for running Linux on all kinds of hardware, is also working to port Linux to M1 Macs. The new chip offers substantial performance benefits to Linux as well as the option to run Linux on an ARM-based machine. In fact, back in November, Linux creator <\/span>Linus Torvalds stated<\/span><\/a> \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting for an ARM laptop that can run Linux for a <\/span>long<\/span><\/i> time. The new Air would be almost perfect, except for the OS.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
