Installing Debian on M1-powered Apple computers |
|
It has been over a year since the first M1-powered Mac computers were launched. The new line from Apple caused a lot of excitement due ot the M1 processor having a strong balance of performance and energy efficiency. At the time the new Mac computers didn't run alternative operating systems and it has been somewhat difficult to port other systems to the M1-powered devices. The Asahi Linux has been making strides in porting Linux to the Apple devices and there are now instructions available for installing Debian on this hardware. Not everything works yet, but the distribution is reaching the point of being useful for people willing to go through the manual steps of installing it. "All systems are supported. But currently the USB-A Port on the Mac Mini will not work in u-boot and GRUB. Mark Kettenis is working on it, but first the other patches need to land in u-boot. The two additional USB-3 ports on the iMac 4 port model also don't work in u-boot, grub and Linux." |
