To be clear, we don't know if the ARM MacBook will be able to run Linux natively. We only know that Apple won't continue support for Boot Camp and therefor Windows anymore. Linux was never supported.

There won't be native Linux. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23640746 (Craig Federighi confirms Apple Silicon Macs will not support booting other OS)

EDIT: fixed link

I don't understand your point. Native Linux isn't restricted to x86_64.

EDIT: Your new link doesn't tell a different story. From the comments:

> It is still possible to disable secure boot using csrutil. Apple has never officially supported booting Linux on a Mac.

I think they didn't mean to link to that specific comment, but the overall submission.

I have to say I don't understand your point either.

Okay, so we can disable secure boot. What is the next step? How does one get to running Linux natively from there?
