Linux 5.13 kernel will not merge the initial code supported by Apple M1 processor, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following small series will explain in detail for everyone, people who have this need can come to learn, I hope you can gain something.

Linux 5.13 is expected to initially support Apple's Silicon M1 processor, although full support may take several years to complete. While Linux is already running on Apple's Silicon M1, it needs a series of patches to make it happen, and Linux 5.13 is now expected to get initial support in its kernel.

According to Phoronix, developer Hector Martin has initially implemented support for M1 and is expected to incorporate these improvements into part of kernel 5.13, which is now working smoothly and is expected to form a stable version around June 2021. Martin previously launched a Patreon crowdfunding campaign to support his development work on the project.

The crowdfunding address is as follows:

"This initial Apple M1 Linux port contains UART, interrupt, SMP and device tree bits to provide basic functionality,"Phoronix said. "There's also a SimpleFB-based frame buffer, but getting 3D/video acceleration for work well supported is obviously going to be a tough challenge. "

Key areas for full M1 support remain to be addressed. In particular,"getting Apple's M1 graphics system fully functional under Linux for everyday use may take some time."

Previously, Corellum ran a version of Linux on the M1, as shown below, however, its developers said Apple's new non-standard approach made it difficult to adapt.
