That’s a lot of work for little success except the “i wanna do this, no matter what”-factor.
Light years away from anything remotely useful, and even if, I had to buy a crapple-device for it 😁
Not to downplay the achievement, it’s awesome.
This is really cool, and perhaps a big stepping stone into Linux development on Apple hardware, the problem with phones is that without manufacturer support the development is so slow the hardware will be EOL before the software matures enough to use.
On top of that, I assume Apple will go well out of their way to plug whatever hole allowed this boot to happen on new generations.
I wish it would be a stepping stone. But be realistic. It’s a fun project, a great proof it’s kinda possible, but that’s all we ever will hear about it. The moment every driver for every lil shit in this device would be remade or disassembled, noone would use this stoneage-device anymore. Or could even get one to begin with.
And as you said, should this ever be more of a proof-of-concept, apple will fix any hole and everything dies.
This might be a jumpoff point to get Linux booting on the A18 and other apple mobile chips as well, no? On devices like the Macbook Neo or some iPads, having Linux as an option makes sense in my opinion.
It won’t. I’ll repeat what i wrote in another comment:

Not that I wouldn’t like that, that’s not the point. It’s just WAY more than just “boot linux”. I mean, come back to this thread in a year and see what happened.
