There’s always room in the EndeavourOS Inn for tutorials. etc. that utilize EndeavourOS ARM. Actually Arch Linux Arm.

I of course do not own a Mac M1. Never have owned anything Apple, and never will.

I learned all I need to know about Apple when I was a toddler - too many of the apples I found on the ground (we had 2 trees) were encumbered by worms, or wasps.

What’s worse than finding a worm in an apple? Half a worm in half an apple… 🦆

@Bryanpwo Even if I’m not always there, Endeavous OS is in my heart and I will do everything to be able to bring it to Mac m1. Expect Asahi Linux releases 100% working scripts to bring EOS to Apple’s ARM processor.

Heartfelt thanks to all of you for this great community

How is it looking around these days? There’s lots of distros I’ve seen Asahi support on the Apple silicon chip series but no EOS ☹ would love to run it my MacBook

Go to the Search feature at the upper right and type in

There are at least 7 Topics on installing EnOS ARM on a Mac M1
