Lusting after the new Apple hardwares with the fancy, super duper fast M1 processor? But hate hate hate stupid MacOS software? Well, after some initial experimental geekery, now Linux officially supports Apple’s M1 chip! \o/ YAY! \o/
After a few months of development, Linux Kernel 5.13 is finally ready for prime time. It brings to the table a plethora of huge improvements, most notably the preliminary support for Apple’s M1 platform.
Cool cool cool! Finally you can purchase Apple’s adorable komputahz without too much of a bad conscience. 😉 Run your Linux on Apple silicon! Of course they are still assembled by Chinese baby slaves … but we don’t like those chinks anyway, don’t we? Those kidz only grow up to become komoonistz and demand fair pay and workers’ rights n stuff. 😦 So we fukn don’t care.
And, hey, I know my Manjaro install ain’t proper ArchLinux but I’m already on Linux kernel 5.13 since quite some time. Jus sayin’. 😉
Thar She Blows! 
The default arch kernel is 5.12.13 as of today.

Mhm. One of the very few times slowpoke Manjaro is more bleeding edge than mothership Arch. And I gotta admit, it’s not Manjo’s standard kernel but the most newest in their list of available kernels. And you know stuntgirl Orca just couldn’t resist. =^.^=

5.12.14 just arrived now and since I have no idea what they do in kernel land, I can’t say what I have gained.

No idea what all that geeky shit is, hope I was a bit helpful. I guess you gained access to Apple silicone and a lot of other newer, improved stuff.

Oh hey anonymous Træppsy. Come on, for a 2 minutes research I did quite well, no? But you’re right, I guess I’ve seen snippets of Linus’ commentaries in some other forum, much more insider-ish than the two I found.
