Is Linux on the iPad possible in 2023?

Since the release of the first iPad in 2010, the tablet market has exploded in popularity, with Apple’s iPad operating system dominating the market. However, for those who prefer a more open and customizable experience, the prospect of running Linux on an iPad has been a popular topic of discussion among the tech community. In 2023, the state of Linux for the iPad continues to be a mixed bag. On one hand, the iPad’s hardware is well-suited to running Linux, with its fast, modern hardware and good battery life. This has resulted in several projects, such as Project Sandbox. Despite these efforts, however, Linux on iPad has yet to achieve a stable ‘daily driver’ solution. One of the main challenges is that Linux is not officially supported on iPad, meaning that those who attempt to run it do so at their own risk and must have a strong understanding of the inner workings of both iPads and Linux. Another challenge is the closed nature of the iOS-iPadOS ecosystem, with Apple tightly controlling both the hardware and software of their devices. This has made it difficult for the Linux community to develop a version of the operating system that is fully compatible with the iPad. <a href="https://medium.com/@kevdoy/does-linux-run-on-the-ipad-in-february-2023-dac2997a1c0f">Website</a>
