In June 2022, software developers Konrad Dybcio and Markuss Broks managed to run Linux kernel 5.18 on a [[iPad Air 2]]. The project made use of the [[Alpine Linux]] based [[Linux distribution]] called [[postmarketOS]], which is primarily developed for [[Android (operating system)|Android]] devices. The developer suggested that they used the [[checkm8]] exploit which was published back in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cunningham |first=Andrew |date=2022-06-02 |title=Have an old iPad lying around?
