Hello.
I'm running apt-get update on a 1st generation Apple TV running Linux via OSMC, and it gives a 404 error when trying to access the Debian Jessie archive. I've check if it's connected online via the ping 8.8.8.8 command, it it pings right back. Any suggestions?
It's possible to copy over the Rosetta2 binary to Asahi Linux and use it to run amd64 applications on bare metal Linux.
Does anyone know if that is permissible by Apple's license?

I have been an Apple fanatic since 2006 when I ditched my Windows desktop in an effort to ditch my video game habit. At that time Apple was not that great for games but it allowed me to browse the web and pay my bills securely. Perfect.
Since that time I have purchased and used 2 MacBooks, 1...
Does anyone know anyway to get better performance out of the x86 emulation? I am not looking for anything crazy but maybe at least 5-10 fps. I found this post that helped a little bit but I'm wondering if anyone knows better settings.
Hey all,
I am stuck on getting a Ubuntu 22.04 to put the bootloader on the external drive and NOT the drive with the macOS boot loader.

I’m unable to boot into the MacOS X 10.4 Tiger install DVD on my PowerMac G4 MDD (2003). I’ve recently installed several distros of Linux until I found out the graphical issues I experienced were from it’s ATI Radeon 9000.
So until I buy a new card, and one that would work with Linux, I...
So I'm trying to compile Amnesia The Dark Descent on Linux Gentoo (on my G5 Quad) - because the original Mac PPC version was unstable (on ATI) and sluggish on NVIDIA - (and as you know on Linux you can have a bit more modern GPUS - I have HD 5450 currently).
Plus even if those reasons are not...

I'm trying to install Linux (Ubuntu server, Oracle Linux, etc) on UTM on my M1 Macbook Air. I download the iso and create the VM but when I start it and select the option to install Linux and press enter, it comes back to the install options screen. No matter how many distributions I...
Hi everyone,
Since reading up on some open source framebuffer drivers / injectors for hackintoshes (e.g. Callisto, ATY_init), I've been wondering about the possibility of porting those to PowerPC. While I haven't been able to find the source code for Callisto or ATY_init (@netkas might have the...

Runs great on my M1 MacBook Air. Some stuff is still missing as of yet such as Bluetooth and GPU acceleration but still very usable for many server and light desktop use cases.
Hello,
I am trying to install Linux Mint (20.3 Mate 64-bit) on my mid-2007 MacBook (C2D, 2GB). However, I am having a near impossible time of this and I can't get USB or DVD to boot the live installer. With DVD, I am stuck with a message of "Choose CD-ROM boot type:". When I try holding down 1...

Hi,
I bought an iMac 20" 2008 on a flea market for 25USD. It works great, but I don't have any use-case at the moment for it, and also there is 3 vertical line on the screen (green, red, and blue). I have a MacBook pro and a hackinthos for work and daily use, so I don't want to use this iMac as...
