Experimental port of elementary OS 9 (Pantheon, Ubuntu-based) to Apple Silicon Macs (M1/M2/…), informed by the maintained Apple hardware packages in omacom/omarchy-mac-pkgs.

An experimental installer and checksum are available in the successful build run (artifact expires October 20). GitHub may require sign-in. The factory image uses Ubuntu kernel 7.0.0-38-generic and has not been hardware-booted. This is not a stable release.
On a booted omarchy-mac, dry run first — changes nothing, uploads its log:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/techmore/ElementaryOS_MSeries && sudo ./ElementaryOS_MSeries/transform/elementary-grow.sh --uploadPaste the printed gist URL back for review. Post-boot verification checklist: POST-BOOT-CHECKS.md.
This project includes an image factory and an experimental transform path. The transform script adds an elementary boot entry beside an existing omarchy-mac install; review its dry-run output before applying it. The factory ISO is a separate path and is not yet hardware-verified.
Support and evidence matrix records what has actually been observed on the M1 Pro, separately from the unverified factory ISO. See the specific bug-fix list for resolved documentation/build gaps and the next hardware fixes.

Host status updated 2026-10-18: the owner confirmed a working Dell WD22TB4 dock picture on Aurora .20. Physical-port qualification and sustained stability remain open. Later hotplug USB/Thunderbolt faults, startup delay and a saved display-mode mismatch are recorded in the hotplug and kernel-module cleanup report; audio after replug remains an unverified owner observation.
