[Qgis-user] Mac ARM processors` /// bootcamp

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

Why I will probably go Linux on my Windows 7 laptop.  The desktop will probably need to stay on Windows because of the other stuff.  I don’t want a dual boot.

What disto would you consider that makes it easy for inexperienced Linux users. Seems like every time I installed Ubuntu, I ended up breaking it beyond repair... 

Any GIS friendly distros to recommend?

Ça va bien aller!

I think boot camp will be no longer be an option as this is just a drive partition with windows and that cannot work with ARM.  The option would be running Windows in a virtual machine and that I always a bad idea, imho.  I also wonder if QGIS will be available for those computers.  I expect it will take some time.
