Just a quick heads up for those planning on installing Linux on their Mac. There are about three types of Macs: Intel Macs, T2 Macs and Apple Silicon Macs.

  • Linux should work fine on Intel Macs, but some people at least seem to have problems with the Touch Bar.
  • T2 Macs are a flavor of Intel Macs. If your Mac has T2 chip, you must use T2Linux flavor of your distro. The overall experience might not be perfectly smooth, expect some issues with at least Touch Bar, suspend and connectivity. Some fixes should arrive later this year, as far as I know.
  • Asahi Linux currently supports M1 and M2 Macs. M3 and M4 are unsupported.
