Macs will not only become locked down consoles ... but will just become a system that nickel and dimes you with subscription services left and right. Where simple app functionality that is freely distributed is now repackaged and sold at a 5.99$ per month for the “pro” version. Most people need computers to work . Give me a break.

But if you watch their other video from the first day of WWDC [1], at about the 20 minute mark they mention that they've already ported a bunch of open source tools to MacOS ARM64: Bgfx Blender Boost Skia Zlib-Ng Chromium cmake Electron FFmpeg Halide Swift Shader Homebrew MacPorts Mono nginx nmap Node OpenCV OpenEXR OpenJDK SSE2Neon Pixar USD QT Python 3 Redis Cineform CFHD NumPy Go V8 And they say they will start contributing those ports upstream now that they've done the announcement.

  Will these ports help Raspberry Pi versions of the same programs?

    I doubt it as they likely run flawlessly on the Pi already thanks to community efforts. If anything apples "porting" will have benefited from the Pi not the other way round

I've found the new XPS 15 as a decent compromise if you use WSL 2. Pair it with docker and you have basically everything you could need. Scoop instead of brew.
