Linux Mint arm64

[Jeroen Diederen]

I'm happy to respond on this! And thank you for your work on it. I would like to try it in VMWare Fusion on my MacBook Pro M1 if that is possible.

I now only sell the Linux Mint Debian Edition images for arm64. LMDE 6 is 200 Thai Baht (around €5) and LMDE 7 costs 400 Thai Baht. You can wire the money to my PayPal account (jjhdiederen at zonnet dot nl, see also the Donations tab on my website).
I have to pay my expenses too (website, domain name) and I need a lot of time and energy to produce a distribution.

I have MP 6.1 Late 2013, trying to revive it in Linux Cinnamon, but I am both terrible at MAC and Linux LOL. I have a problem trying to get Start Manager to show up on boot start. I hold the left option key but the screen just stays black. At this point if I can;t even get the choice to look at the USB to boot, I'm already dead in the water.

Wrong thread, you don’t have an arm based Mac.

I never had any luck installing linux on my early intel MacBooks as the latest  software released this decade is not playing well with my non- music speakers, keyboards and independent programs. I would prefer to run any linux on my M1 (I have no idea if they are ARM, or care) as this MINT software seems sketchy as the OP wants to PM mistakes and issues.
try OCLP on you MP as there are some threads have better support than here.

you seem too shady and arrogant to post a thread that can damage one's Mac.
these demands for a PM reply is sneaky
then we have the audacity to command someone here that they are in the wrong thread.
this website is for rumors, and help as that is all the person did, ask for help.

Hi MDAIr2010. Thanks for the input. Yes I just heard about OCLP and will look at this If nothing pans out. I got really excited about using linux again. It's been many years since I had once installed it on a PC. So much seems to have improved (AND NOT) LOL.
