Apple's MacBook Pro laptops have become increasingly unfriendly with Linux in recent years [...] But now with the latest Mac Mini systems employing Apple's T2 security chip, they too are likely to crush any Linux dreams.

At least until further notice, these new Apple systems sporting the T2 chip will not be able to boot Linux operating systems.

[...] By default, Microsoft Windows isn't even bootable on the new Apple systems until enabling support for Windows via the Boot Camp Assistant macOS software.

From Phoronix.

    My goodness, there are a lot of salty tears in the comments for this article!

    I find it interesting how many of them seem to be Sour Graps [wikipedia.org] though - if Apple hardware is as shit and overpriced as you say, why do you even care that Linux can't run on it?

    Just pretend that it's an oversized iPad with a keyboard and you can put it all into context.
