OpenBSD/arm64 on Apple M1 systems
Maybe don&#x27;t boot your Macs into third-party operating systems (high potential for thermal damage or even misconfiguring mainboard components such that it might cause data loss even when rebooted back into macOS ..if the BSP devs at Apple were sloppy in their initialization code or an &quot;unknown state&quot; is created).  Linux on Mac, A&#x2F;UX, etc. was a Thing back in the day when clock rates were lower and component densities were lower and the machines came chalk full of holes to let the heat out, so running the system &quot;out of spec&quot; had less potential for permanent damage.<p>Apple-sanctioned alternative operating systems such as VMware ESXi have also caused problems in the past and should not be used at all anymore because Apple does not seem to play well with others on that level (by releasing uncoordinated firmware updates).
