Kube kubi kangakanani kimi ukuthi ngidayise i-iPad yami 4 eminyakeni embalwa edlule lapho ngiqala ukufunda okusha eyanyatheliswa kuyi-Ars Technica, nendlela engizole ngayo lapho ngifunda okuthile okungaphezu kwesihloko. Isihloko sithi "Ingabe unayo i-iPad endala elele? Ungayenza isebenze i-linux maduze", futhi ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho ngacabanga ngalokho iPad 4 engangingayisebenzisa ukuze ngithole i-Linux kuthebhulethi ehloniphekile (hhayi njengePineTab, ngixolele PINE64). Ngike ngathula ukuze ngibone ukuthi yimaphi amaphilisi ama-apula ayihlolayo.
Ngoba iphuzu liwukuthi kunonjiniyela abathile abasebenzela ukuthi bakwazi ukufaka i-Linux kwamanye ama-iPad, ikakhulukazi labo abasebenzisa ama-chips e-Apple A7 kanye ne-A8. Aba-4 basebenzise i-A6X, ngakho ayizange ingisebenzele. Ubuhle. Bekuyi-iPad Air yokuqala eyenza ukuthi igxumele ku-A7, eyokuqala kwezimbili ezisekelwayo njengamanje. Futhi wukuthi onjiniyela bayafaka I-Linux kumathebhulethi e-Apple ane-A7 ne-A8 processor.
I-Linux ku-iPad yomdabu, ayihlangene neShell
Kuze kube manje, okusondela kakhulu ekubeni neLinux kuthebhulethi yeCupertino sekukhona shell, okungukuthi, njengedeskithophu ekude engasetshenziswa kunoma iyiphi idivayisi. UManjaro wayithengisa njengento engenzeka, ukuze kamuva anikeze ulwazi oluphelele olwalungahlanganise lutho nalo.
Kodwa lezi zindaba zimayelana nomsebenzi ka-Konrad Dybcio kanye ne-quaack723, abasebenze ndawonye ukuze bathole i-Linux 5.18 kernel ukuthi iqale ku-iPad Air 2 endala, leyo esebenzise i-A8. Isistimu yokusebenza abahlose ukuyifaka isekelwe ku-Alpine Linux, lelo abaningi bethu abazi njenge-postmarketOS. Ukwenza lokhu kwenzeke, basebenzisa i-exploit ebizwa ngokuthi I-Checkm8, esezingeni le-bootrom, okungukuthi, ukwehluleka kwehadiwe i-Apple engakwazi ukukumboza noma ngabe ibifuna. Lolu hlobo lwesiphazamisi, i-bootrom bug, yilona olwenze i-jailbreak yenzeka njalo kudivayisi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ibuyekezwe kangakanani.
postmarketOS, isistimu ekhethiwe
Abathuthukisi baphinde bathi kuzokwazi ukufaka postmarketOS kunoma iyiphi idivayisi enalawo maphrosesa, futhi asetshenziswa nama-iPhone 5s kanye no-6 no-6 Plus.
Konke lokhu kusezigabeni zakho zokuqala, futhi ngiyangabaza ukuthi njengamanje iyona ndlela engcono kakhulu. Ngokwesibonelo, yena iPhone 5s Ayisakutholi izibuyekezo ze-OS, kodwa ngiyazi abantu abakwenzayo futhi izinhlelo zokusebenza zisasebenza kahle. Kuyoba lapho izinhlelo zokusebenza ziqala ukuyeka ukusebenza nalapho konke lokhu sekuvuthwe kakhulu lapho kuyodingeka kwenziwe isinqumo. Noma uma sithanda i-Linux futhi sinenye yalezi zisetshenziswa ezilele nxazonke, mhlawumbe kuwumqondo omuhle. Kunoma ikuphi, i-Linux ayilokothi iyeke ukusimangaza, futhi iyakwazi ukufinyelela ngisho nasezindaweni ezicashile kakhulu.
