The Universal Binary build adds native support for Apple M1 computers, while also being the suggested build for Intel-chip Macs running most macOS. We have provided the opportunity for all users to choose the correct build. For more information, please see our article How to update to Live 11.1.
What's the difference between running Live using Rosetta and running it natively on M1?
