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.

    Although, with a sharp stick, I think I could teach that sort of Linux user the difference

    For an ordinary Linux user, you would be correct.

    But we're talking about a Linux user who would also buy Apple products. So they're accustomed to the way Apple treats them. Their reaction might be more like:

    Thank you sir! I still do not know the difference! Could you please abuse me some more! And yes, I promise to loyally make my annual pilgrimage to WWDC this year!

    [x] Yes! Please send me the latest of whatever Apple product you want, enclosed is a blank check!
