Torvalds, who was directed to such a Mac with an M1 chip, said in the forum of Real World Tech, a news site for engineers, 'If Linux works, I definitely want it.'
Mr. Torvalds loved the 11-inch model of the MacBook Air about 10 years ago and said he liked it a lot, but he switched to another laptop because it took too long to repair the screen. I did. In addition, Apple products became inconvenient to run Linux, which also contributed to Mr. Torvalds' departure from the Mac.
Torvalds, who has been away from the Mac for a long time, is paying attention to the Mac again because Apple moved from Intel CPUs to ARM cores. 'I've been waiting for ARM laptops running Linux for years, and the new MacBook Air is almost perfect except for the operating system,' Torvalds said, appealing to the new MacBook Air from a hardware perspective. I told you to feel it.
However, Torvalds said, 'I have no time to mess with it (the new MacBook Air) and I have no intention of fighting uncooperative companies,' and at the time of writing the article, Linux was in full swing on the new Mac. There are no plans to modify Linux to support it.
IT news site Developer Tech News commented on Torvalds' statement: 'Apple's new M1-powered Mac is highly regarded for its performance and battery life, and even those who have avoided Macs in the past ignore it. It is an existence that cannot be done. '
