> Running an alternative OS "natively" on a Mac doesn't seem very appealing to me. It's almost guaranteed you will never fully get Wi-Fi, audio, graphics acceleration, the trackpad, etc. working flawlessly, especially on the M1 where almost every component is Apple proprietary and it's not a matter of loading, say, the right Intel graphics driver.
It's not appealing to me now. In 9 or 10 years when Apple has stopped shipping new versions of MacOS for the platform, it will be much more interesting for me. Of course by then it's just a curiosity or fun project, not something I need for day to day. And by then, much of the wifi/ graphics/ audio issues will be solved.
- adamcstephens 6y agoI wouldn't be so sure that wifi/graphics/audio will ever be solved. It's possible, but not guaranteed. There are whole generations of Intel Mac systems that have never received support for these. https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux
