    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:

      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. Should this ever be more of a proof-of-concept, apple will fix any hole and everything starts anew.

      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.
