| guide | Recently, according to the official news of deepin, in the released deepin V23 beta version, deepin is officially adapted to Apple Mac mini M1. |
According to officials, the Mac mini M1 is a mini computer host released by Apple in November 2020. It is equipped with an 8-core M1 processor with a frequency of up to 3.2GHz, with two Thunderbolt ports, two USB 3.0 Type A, HDMI 2.0 and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Since it uses the same processor as the Macbook Air M1 and Macbook Pro M1 of the same series, this adaptation also lays the foundation for the transplantation of these two machines in the future.
The official admits that at the current stage, although the deepin system has been able to start normally on the Mac Mini M1, it has not yet reached the stage where it can be used daily , and there are many adaptation problems. For example: the system lacks software applications, there is no setup wizard for the first startup, sound and GPU hardware acceleration are not available, etc. Officials are currently working to resolve these issues.
According to previous reports, deepin V23 beta was officially released in May this year. According to the official statement, deepin V23 beta is a phased version of deepin V23, which has been upgraded on the basis of V23 Alpha, but it is not recommended for production environments.
