Maybe boot a Linux USB drive and use dd to copy the drive? I assume this is too easy, but I'm curious about where it fails.


Maybe if the target device is the same part number (I assume an m.2 NVMe), that would work. IDK if it works with other drives, e.g. different capacity, let alone using a USB-attached drive. I don't know what bits, beyond the image proper, belong to the trusted signed set.


It would just be a bit-for-bit copy, so maybe it would work? I don't know what a trusted signed set is.

I'm mystified about why I'm getting downvoted for that question. If it's inadvertently stupid of insulting to Apple users, wouldn't an explanation be more useful then trying to censor it?


Is it possible to boot a Linux Live CD on Apple Silicon Macs?


I think Linux runs on Apple hardware? I could be out of date, and it's completely locked-down these days.

Edit: I suppose it could explain the downvoting. "Apple doesn't let us boot Linux, you insensitive clod!"
