Hello everyone,
It would be nice if we could make a second image build for modern Apple
Macs which use the arm64 architecture instead of amd64.
The alternate architecture is fully supported by Debian/Ubuntu these days
so most things should just work, but it may require some work to build 3rd
party packages that are supplied by PPAs and not compiled as part of the
OSGeoLive build scripts.
I'm using VirtualBox on my Mac to successfully run the generic Ubuntu
24.04 LTS xUbuntu iso with our favorite geo packages, it works fine. But
if you want to run Intel/AMD amd64 images you need to buy/rent Parallels
VM currently, which I'd like to avoid.
cheers,
Hamish
