so i’m on a macbook & very new to learning this, that being said, i’ve been reading the dw bible & have learned a lot, but right as i was ready to download tails.. i checked my processor & it’s an apple chip instead of intel :( which means tails wont work. ugh. what is the alternative?? on the website it mentions asahi linux, is that similar? their ‘about’ section is pretty vague. unless i am just dumb :b
any help & recs are super appreciated, just need an alternative to access.
ugh i was thinking there had to be a way to bypass it but i guess ill just grab a cheap laptop or something
UTM allows x86 emulation via QEMU, so Tails may be usable on Apple Silicon. With a stripped-down VM config it can be reasonably isolated from normal macOS use, but Tails warns that running in a VM on a Mac may not work well. Separate hardware is the better option for actual consistent use tho.
Even with an intel chip I still wouldn’t trust it. Best to get a cheap old thinkpad
also out of curiosity, why is a thinkpad better than a reg pc w intel chip? more anonymity or less traceable?
