So there is no way to install ubuntu 22 on macbook pro 2023?

  • Ubuntu 22
  • macbook pro 14" 2023
  • Needs: to become more flexible with ubuntu for server side edge
  • and last to use, Pytorch for ML.


  • After looking at market, Mac is the best machine with performance, and in budget
  • Also, Ubuntu is must for me.
  • Mostly, I'm looking for similar functionality like cuda, as pytorch
  • And a ubuntu based systemctl control / systemd


I tried to find, alternate machine on web but they are lacking in some features, or being costly.

Majority, of them don't have same screen config., and if I look for good screen then it lacks with performance.

MacBook Pro (M2 Max, 2023)

In that other thread you created which @BobTheFisherman linked, I clearly explained the current state of Linux on an Apple Silicon Mac. Clearly you don't trust us to provide accurate information....I would have included links to the statements I made, but you made it abundantly clear in that other post you did not want any links. Clearly you don't want to do any searching for answers on your own even when someone gives you actual items to use in that search.


Just to reiterate what I wrote in that other post, this time trying to keep it a bit simpler.....AFAIK, there is currently no Linux distribution compatible with an Apple Silicon Mac for booting on bare metal. The closest thing to booting on bare metal on an Apple Silicon Mac is Asahi Linux which is no more than a barebones boot disk for the Asahi developers to develop & test the drivers they are developing for Apple Silicon Macs. Those same developers only recently announced they were going to use Fedora Core as a base for a full blown Linux OS for Apple Silicon Macs so that regular apps will be available for people. I would provide links, but I know how you don't want any links.


What you want doesn't exist at this time with Apple hardware AFAIK. You need to find the hardware which is actually compatible with Linux. Apple hardware since 2016 has had very poor Linux support. It usually takes years before Linux support becomes usable on new hardware anyway.

Maybe someone in the Ubuntu Help Communities can help you:

Or maybe the instructions here could help:

Bro!, Think of it a machine learning algo. running on VMware. The ultimate goal of algo. is to train model as fast as possible and as accurate as possible.

VMware will not be a good option to proceed with, when performance is our concern.

Bro! Why did you start another thread in addition to your previous one:

Are you trying to address Apple here? If so, that is a waste of keystrokes. Apple will not even see a question like tihs yours in this user-to-user comunity.


If you are looking for other users' help, fine, but the tone of your post sounds like your are wanting Apple to make changes to the MacBook Pro. Sugggestions will only get to Apple if you use a feedback link:


Feedback - MacBook Pro - Apple.
