In a major technical breakthrough, the open-source community has successfully booted a graphical Linux desktop on Apple's M3 silicon. This deep dive explores how developers reverse-engineered the proprietary chip in record time, the implications for the developer workstation market, and what this means for the future of ARM-based computing.
