The community does a pretty decent job of supporting other Apple hardware; often vastly outperforming default MacOS (or Windows in many tests). Graphics is a particularly soft target, eg: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=macos1015-win10-ubuntu&num=2 https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=macos101...
I know —and apologies for the originally unintended, but retrospectively way-overused pun— I've compared an Apple to an orange there, and I realise it's very different hardware... But it's also not. It mostly depends on access. If developers can shim in a loader, and it doesn't require soldering, it'll be popular and get attention. These chips look too great to ignore.
Not my downvote, btw. Hopefully they'll toss an opinion in too.
- zepto 6y agoThat’s very good to know - I have an iMac 5K 27” that is only a year or so away from losing support from Apple, which will become a Linux machine at that point.
