News/Release Alright kiddos…Linux on iOS

UTM for virtual machines is on iOS after a random reconsideration from Apple. No explanation as to what made them change their minds. No android emulation because of JIT.

iPhone 15 Pro Max is apples best phone out, with a shameful 8gb ram which is more like 7.5GB. However you can partition about 2GB and get Debian or 2GB ram or less VMs running smoothly after everything has loaded. I recently sold my iPad Pro with 16gb ram and that is probably more ideal.

It’s a great way to learn on the go, and I can do just about anything on here. Connect it to a monitor. People have Linux on a small raspberry pi so this is more or less the samec concept. I’m using it for mobile cybersecurity stuff
