    iOS devices

    i’m intrigued

    not that i don’t care about android, but that making something that works with iOS is typically more of a challenge, because of these devices don’t support loading unsigned kernels…

      Hmm, yeah. Initially I thought it might be a lib-hybris based version of Manjaro, similar to Ubuntu Touch. But that would be Android only. Lets wait and see I guess.

        I feel like it’s going to be something virtualized because I don’t see anything coming to iphone on bare metal.

          why not? jailbreaking is perfectly legal, maybe sideloading something this way would be possible… 🤔

          however to rely on jailbreaks occurring steadily is a bit weird, i guess we’ll see

            jailbreaking is different from putting a whole new OS on an iphone. One person got ubuntu on their iphone 7 but iirc the screen didn’t even work. The iphone is explicitely designed to only ever be able to run iOS and that’s it. It would be badass to have manjaro on an iphone though.

              for sure, but manjaro never specified that’s it’s na entire separate operating system

              i mentioned jailbreaking as a means to make some special modification to your ios device, something manjaro wouldn’t otherwise be able to do via app store
