Hello,
I’m wondering is it possible to install NixOS on a newer MacBook Pro M1? I have to admit, I didn’t notice that Apple has a new Chip out. It is arm “based” from what I read, so I fear that the arm installation guide doesn’t apply and I have to use a VM?
In theory, the ARM installation guide would apply, but kernel and bootloader support aren’t really ready yet (though they’re getting very close). Keep an eye on Asahi Linux: https://asahilinux.org/
For now, though, you probably want to use a VM or Nix on macOS.
