After several months of development, Linux is finally available natively on M1 Macs.
Linux Kernel 5.13 Stable Released
Linus Torvalds announced on Sunday that the latest version of Linux, Kernel 5.13, has arrived with native support for Apple M1. 9To5Google notes that Linux has been testing a release candidate build for the past month, but that the official release has finally arrived, with an initial level of support.
At the moment, it appears that Linux Kernel 5.13 does not support accelerated graphics, so there are still some improvements to be made in future updates. Torvalds says that 5.13 feels like a small update overall, but it is also one of the largest 5.x releases, with over 16,000 commits (17,000 if you count merges).
The kernel was also developed with work from over 2,000 developers. Torvalds noted that the extra size may have come from the extra release candidate week that 5.12 received.
