"It is unfortunate that it only runs on Intel macOS."

Tails runs on most computers. It doesn't have to be a "macOS" (you mean Apple?). macOS is an OS, tails replaces the OS.



I misspoke. I know that it works on any Intel computer that you can plug a USB flash drive into.


It doesn't run on ARM macs. Which is all new macs.


Sure, but that's not what parent said. He said it only runs on "intel macOS", which is false. It works on non-Apple computers as well.

But I understand the miscommunication, parent meant to say "of the Apple computers, it only runs on Intel ones". There is a world outside of Apple, you know :-)


It's an emphasis thing. You can't tell in text where the emphasis is. In this case it was super clear that it was "intel macOS", but yea, it should have been "intel macs".


The conflation of "MacOS" with "Apple computer" is a problem that should be addressed.

Tails works on Intel arch. It does not work on ARM arch.

This has nothing to do with an Apple branded computer.
