Not a Mac fan but you don't test kernel changes in a VM?
- ajross 6y agoStatistically, basically all kernel developers are working on hardware support of one form or another. They might run changes in an appropriate simulator[1] if they have it, but the community of people able to do the bulk of their work in a desktop VM is quite small.
