using macports wouldn't make it such that "more things will work". it's really about the applications now needing to be compiled in the ARM architecture. here are some examples: aom: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/57976 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/57976 boost: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/59257 https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/pull/59257 ... if you notice the code changes for the items above, they make changes to detect if the compile target is ARM and make the necessary changes so it would compile.
