Well, Asahi Linux is a thing

The title and the Apple domain made it look for a second like an officially supported solution to run Linux directly on Apple silicon. This would have been so much more than Asahi Linux.

The title should have been "Create macOS or Linux virtual machines" but I guess OP chose something that sounds more attractive and "votable".

Well, not to bash the OP, but a "votable" title does distracts us from a conversation about the actual changes to Mac OS.

I might have misinterpreted the session description, but “We’ll also explore how you can install and run full Linux distributions on Apple Silicon” is the sentence that made me post this in the first place.

Edit: Also, while I agree that the title sounds click baity, it is a quote from the description, that I wanted to highlight. Using the session title wouldn’t have done that. Guess we’ll see, when the session drops tomorrow.
