[OSGeoLive] Will there be an ARM version of the osgeo live?

[Kobben, Barend (UT-ITC)]

Nope, that is a shame. Parallels (the VM host)  won’t even install the hosted system (be it Li/Unix or Windows) if it is not ARM-based :-(
So I can install an ARM-based Ubuntu, but not the LIVE OSGEO Lubuntu...


See, in the link you sent: “What can’t Rosetta 2 translate?
Rosetta cannot translate kernel extensions or Virtual Machine apps that virtualize x86_64 computer platforms. Developers should be aware that Rosetta is also unable to translate AVX, AVX2, and AVX512 vector instructions. ”

Dear Angelos,

That is a real pity, as it will mean losing all Apple users in the coming years :-(

Dear Barend,

We do not have an ARM version. This would require more developer
resources than we currently have, so there is currently no plan to
support this architecture.

Best,
Angelos

For installation in the Parallels virtual machine on a new MacPro (running on the Apple silicon architecture), an ARM version instead of an Intel version is needed. Is that available, or will in be...? Or are there alternative ways to get it running on a Mac M1...?
