On: Linux Running on Apple M1

[rvz]

Great progress already thanks to Corellium for the M1 linux projects [0][1], the PongoOS project and to all others involved.

Getting GPU acceleration is now the real challenge.

Well. GPU, networking, power management, disk... There's more than 1 huge challenge

[rowanG077 → JustFinishedBSG]

Networking and disk will be relatively trivial I'd expect. GPU and power management will be very hard.

[unix_fan → JustFinishedBSG]

Disk isn't all that complicated. Once people figured out that apple's NVME implementation was custom, writing a driver for it wasn't all that hard, even with the t2.

Can someone explain what a .dts file is?
