We have had the chip with us for quite some time Apple M1. A new chip that is turning Apple computers into real machines. Not just Macs, the new iPad Pro is proving to be a beast. The programmers and developers put the batteries to make their programs compatible with this new architecture and little by little it is being achieved. The last thing is that the latest Linux kernel introduces preliminary compatibility with Apple M1.
The latest version of the Linux kernel, Linux 5.13, features support for Apple's M1 system-on-chip and now It is available as a trial version for the final release. Linus Torvalds, has announced that the release candidate version is now available for public testing.
Although IT specialists, and especially security specialists, have successfully started Linux on Apple Silicon in the past, it required some fairly technical solutions. With preliminary support on Linux 5.13, Linux distributions and systems will have a lot easier to run on Apple's SoC.
In addition to Apple Silicon support, the Linux 5.13 kernel also features a host of new and updated drivers and other internal enhancements on the file system. Architectures, tools and process management, among other new updates. The final version of Linux 5.13 should be released to the public in late June or early July. That will depend on how many preliminary versions you decide to release and therefore test, during the development cycle and before the release of the final version.
As we said before, little by little new advances are being made. That he new step forward be easy Linux compatibility with Apple Silicon, This are very good news. Especially for all those security experts who use this operating system to work and develop.
