Install Linux on Apple Silicon MacBooks (M1, M2, M3, M4) | Run Linux and Windows on MacBooks

In this video, I demonstrate how to install and run any operating system on Apple Silicon MacBooks, including the M1, M2, M3, and M4 models. Apple’s new ARM-based chips are powerful, but many people believe you’re stuck with macOS. That’s not true—you can run Linux distributions and even Windows on Apple Silicon smoothly with virtualization. I tested Ubuntu, Fedora, Kali Linux, and Windows on my MacBook, and each one worked without issues. This video also includes a complete walkthrough of installing the Kali Linux ARM version, which runs natively on Apple Silicon for better performance. We’ll also discuss why ARM-based operating systems run efficiently on these machines, and why x86 or x64 systems, while possible, are slower due to emulation. By the end of this video, you’ll understand how to set up any ARM-based operating system safely without risking your main macOS installation. If you’re a developer, a student, or simply a tech enthusiast wanting to explore Linux, Windows, or other operating systems on your MacBook, this step-by-step guide will show you everything you need.
