Old iPads could soon run Linux

Owners of old iPads and iPhones could soon be able to run Linux on these devices, Ars Technica reports.

The publication spotted a recent Twitter post by software developer Konrad Dybcio and Linux enthusiast quaack723.

The pair managed to get Linux kernel version 5.18 to boot natively on an iPad Air 2, first released in October 2014.
