🧵 Announcing iSH ARM64 — native Linux on iPhone & iPad, open source.
A fork of
@iSH_app that adds a same-architecture threaded-code interpreter (codename Asbestos) for AArch64 Linux on Apple Silicon.
1/ iSH ARM64 runs AArch64 Linux on ARM64. 3–30× overhead vs native, down from 15–100×.
2/ 48-bit virtual address space. Unlocked V8, Go, and Rust on iSH ARM64 now.
3/ Node.js 22 now runs on iOS. With --jitless injection.
npm install. npx. create-next-app. All working.
4/ Built for AI agent orchestration on iOS. iSH ARM64 shipped as the Agent Shell Sandbox inside OpenMinis — stably running Linux workloads for 10,000 users.
5/ Compatibility: 205/205 tests pass. 18 categories — Core OS, Python, Node.js, Go, Rust, Perl, Ruby, SQLite, Git, SSH, Editors, Build tools, Media, Crypto, Signals, and more.
The code is open. The 10,000 users are production.
