Follow-up: Now I am afraid the victory of Asahi running Linux on Apple Silicon systems is only superficial. Apple still has a tight grip on how hardware is ran on a level lower than Linux.
If I am wrong, please point out. I would be happy.
- EricE 4y agoPeople have been worrying about Apple locking stuff out for decades - and they haven't. And why would they? What do they gain by restricting access to the hardware? It just doesn't make sense. People love to ascribe all sorts of motives to them that are, quite frankly, utterly ridiculous. They aren't perfect - no one company is - but they certainly are one of the better choices given where things are going in general.
- _nalply 4y agoNo need to be negative ("utterly ridiculous"). And you seem to have misunderstood me. It's not about Apple locking something, its about Apple software on the hardware of your Asahi Linux system.
