Linux on parallels m1 code#
My days of debugging kernel level code are long passed, and I have not delved into the macOS "Darwin" kernel at all. From memory: SunOS/Solaris, HP-UX, IRIX, Digital Unix on Alpha, whatever Apollo called theirs, probably others. I can truthfully say that it behaves like other "real" Unix systems I have used, but trying to remember them all is an exercise in futility. It does not affect how I use it or what others believe, and that's fine. I choose to believe the many sources that say it is Unix. You can believe that macOS is Unix or not. This will get you started, and note that the first link is different than the one you cited above: Wikipedia is not an authoritative source, but it was the best I could find in a brief search.
Linux on parallels m1 mac os x#
Quoting the Wikipedia article on macOS: "All releases from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and after are UNIX 03 certified, with an exception for OS X 10.7 Lion." Apple used to have more on its website about how macOS is Unix, but I could not find it.
The UNIX certification comes from The Open Group. This Wikipedia article and Apple's own propaganda say that macOS is "UNIX 03" certified. They all have their positive attributes and negative tradeoffs.Ĭlick to expand.What you say is sensible, but does not match what others have been saying over the years. I believe that more downloadable, ready-to-run virtual machines are available for VMware than the others combined.
Linux on parallels m1 software#
Virtual machine software for Macs includes VirtualBox (free) and Parallels, which were mentioned above. One drawback of virtual machines is that they use a lot of drive space. You can create many snapshots, branch them, etc.
Virtual machines offer advantages like "Snapshots", which allow you to save the machine, try something you are not sure about, and then restore the machine back to the snapshot. I run Linux on that Mac in virtual machines.
On the other hand, that may not matter in some considerations. My reading on the matter suggests that linux is still most superior on intel or amd hardware, so I think that for optimal facility, one might consider matching hardware with software. The Macs are made to optimally run Apple's operating systems though linux can run on pretty much any of them. I'm a little out of date having given up my Mac a few years ago. You would need to get Mac's xcode program and perhaps some other generic program-assisting programs. If you want to cross-compile for linux architectures, that's possible. The terminals and IDEs if you want them are mostly available. Nearly of the linux programs are downloadable to the Mac through the homebrew package management system, which includes the C coding essentials like gcc and clang and all manner of other programming languages. I can't tell you which is the best linux distro for the Mac M1, but what I can tell you is that your Mac can be run very similarly to a linux computer.
