    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_on_Apple_devices

    The most popular PowerPC emulation tools for Mac OS/Mac OS X are Microsoft's Virtual PC, and the open-source QEMU. [8] Linux dual-booting is achieved by partitioning the boot drive, installing the Yaboot bootloader onto the Linux partition, and selecting that Linux partition as the Startup Disk. This results in users being prompted to select ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions

    OpenSSL uses AVX- and AVX2-optimized cryptographic functions since version 1.0.2. [47] Support for AVX-512 was added in version 3.0.0. [48] Some of these optimizations are also present in various clones and forks, like LibreSSL. Linux kernel can use AVX or AVX2, together with AES-NI as optimized implementation of AES-GCM cryptographic algorithm.

  4. Darling (software) - Wikipedia

    To provide the macOS binaries with a kernel, Darling uses a modified XNU kernel (with an APSL license) wrapped into a Linux kernel module with a GPL license. [ needs update ] It is not the same as including GPL code in APSL software, and the APSL license allows for linking from code with a different license (in this case GPL).

    kpatch is a feature of the Linux kernel that implements live patching of a running kernel, which allows kernel patches to be applied while the kernel is still running. By avoiding the need for rebooting the system with a new kernel that contains the desired patches, kpatch aims to maximize the system uptime and availability.
