Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple silicon
This is absolutely the right thing to do and it&#x27;s quite assuring to see they put out a clear cut support article for this so quick.<p>However without the specifications for the security chip, GPU, SoC - running an alternative OS on the M1 Macs is very much a no-go.<p>Apple could work closely with Microsoft to get Windows&#x2F;ARM working on their ARM implementation but I am sure that&#x27;s way more work than was Bootcamp. (Apple proprietary firmware is a big question and so are the various drivers obviously). This is why ARM is a mess that isn&#x27;t worth dealing with even with better performance per watt.<p>What would be really great is if Apple did what Dell does - Make a downloadable Ubuntu ISO with drivers and firmware integration available that works as a fully functional alternative OS. Or make the h&#x2F;w specs available so people can do the work themselves. I am well aware none of it will actually happen but nonetheless it would get more people to buy into what seems to be an excellent hardware platform.
