Figure out how to drop a non-proprietary OS on an Apple device and I'll use it. I'd have zero issue running apple hardware running my choice of Linux if I was paying obscene amounts to bankroll a company I don't want to support.

Good to know it's possible! If I'm ever gifted a MacOS device that will be the first thing I do to it.

I’ve only partitioned an old laptop. It would be interesting to know if it would be possible on iPad or iPhone. πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

I've been hearing folks talking about jailbreak ING iphones, but it's this hushed mythical thing they don't want to say too loud, and it's unconfirmed if anybody actually has πŸ˜‚

That’s just removing it from its phone carrier ties. Say if you got it cheaper through a certain contract.

From my understanding, the firmware is locked though? I may be incorrect on that.

There is someone far better equipped to answer questions about this than me.

It doesn’t make full use of the Apple silicon yet though does it? That was a big reason I hadn’t done another dual boot yet.

Those guides only work on Intel Macs. If you want to use Linux on a Mac your only option right now is Asahi Linux which I’ve heard is stupidly fast but also extremely beta. They’ve recently implemented the sleep state that Macs are famous for.
