Doubt if that will ever happen as even older Intel Mac Minis still have issues running FreeBSD - https://wiki.freebsd.org/IntelMacMini https://wiki.freebsd.org/

  There's 5 open PRs. Two seem to be boot related, which probably wouldn't apply to the M1. The Xorg one and the drm one are related to an Intel integrated GPU. That leaves just the firewire one as possibly an issue. Though I get the general point that hardware drivers could be an issue. Perhaps, though, the upside of the M1 is sufficient incentive for people to figure it out.

    Maybe Apple does a favor for us and releases docs for their hardware, so it would be easier to write drivers for the open source operating systems. That would be the best news for 2021.

      I would have been surprised if they did that before, and I certainly can’t see it happening now as they pull things out of the open source releases…
