![]() ![]() Yes you're right, it would need to be an emulator, but I didn't know if VMware could handle that nor not, or something similar to that perhaps. I.e., your want/question seems rather misty and in any case, does not seem at all and in any way even possibly related to Linux Mint. ![]() The emulator would have to run on pretty powerful hardware anyway.ĪFAIA only ASAHI Linux,, is at all close to or at being a more or less complete Linux distribution for Apple Silicon and that you of course need to run natively. Ultimately though, what I really need to know is how to make a custom Linux ISO that will run on Apple processorsīasically you don't, and certainly not Linux Mint: while Mint's underlying Ubuntu is making steps in the direction, Mint bases of x86-64 Ubuntu desktop and more, does certainly not provide any of its own software for Apple M1/M2.Īs to the thing you said about "VMware": you need an Apple Silicon emulator, not just a VM (which generally "relays" only the own underlying architecture) and as far as I'm aware no Apple Silicon emulators exist (on consumer Intel). Ultimately though, what I really need to know is how to make a custom Linux ISO that will run on Apple processors, and if they don't allow USB booting by default, then how to configure them so that they can. So the code that's on the page you linked to, as well as having to require them to install that program, may be a bit too advanced for them. First of all, that wouldn't solve the issue of how to make it compatible with Apple processors rather than Intel processors, which is really the big problem.Īnd secondly, the person(s) that I might give a copy of a live Linux aren't necessarily very knowledgeable about computers and programming, but I'm sure they could use Linux for the intended purpose (navigating directories and opening files, without having to type any commands). I think you mean to say that using this boot manager/boot loader on a Mac, it would be possible to boot from a USB drive to run Linux, and if so then that's good.Įxcept that there are still a couple of problems. Thanks, but I'm not sure what you're implying by that. I don't know why it wouldn't just allow it by default, but mine didn't. So how can I run such a virtual machine, and more importantly, how can I create this on my PC?Īnd by the way, is there any setup necessary on a Mac to enable it to boot from USB drives? On my PC I had to change some UEFI settings, but I don't know if the same would apply. But I also need a way to create it in the first place. I looked into Linux on the new Mac computers, and it seems like there's just one version of Ubuntu that has recently been made for them (though I'm not sure Mint specifically can, sadly), so I guess I could recreate the custom ISO for that type of processor, but I don't have a Mac, so I don't have any way of testing it unless I can run it in VMware or something like that. If it's Apple then I'm assuming there's no way it would be able to boot a copy of mine, because it wouldn't be able to understand it at all. I guess this is the right category for this topic.Īnyway, I've used Cubic to create a Linux Mint custom installer ISO (it doesn't need to install though, but just run in live mode), which works great, except that I may have to give a copy to someone who has a Macintosh, and I'm not sure whether the processor is Intel or Apple. ![]()
