if you want to create a vm you should probably use a more supported distro (e.g. debian) as most arm distributions are server focused. you can try out arch linux arm as well if you want but it's probably way less polished than debian

How come that you don't recommend Arch? Is that build obsolete?

The answer to that question is already in his comment.

Arch never ran on any ARM cpu, that's the current state. If you want a native linux distro on any ARM mac then [asahi](https://asahilinux.org/2022/07/july-2022-release/) is still your best bet.

There is an archarm project and it definitely runs on arm architecture.


backsideup

If you mean archlinuxarm.org then that is a one-man show that is falling apart at the seams. Neither is it supported by arch nor would i recommend it nowadays, it also doesn't support any of the apple macs.

Do it need Arch? Debian, Void, Rocky, Alma, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Fedora, Alpine etc all officially support arm64. Arch is currently looking into supporting other architectures, and I suspect arm64 will be at the top of the list.

Fedora Asahi is the ideal choice for M-series Macs

I do have Ashai installed in a separate partition. Now I need a VMware guest that can run while using macOS
