I'm also in awe and respect for the Asahi team, but please don't overstate things just to celebrate their work. Even according to your own posts, there are huge dealbreakers like sound or external HDMI.
I bought an M1 based on HN posts like this, because I need linux and not OS X. I soon returned it when I realized how it could not come close to being my daily driver.
- Invictus0 4y agoLol, the limitations of Asahi are described very clearly on their site. It's your own fault if you spent $2000 on a computer based on random HN comments about an open source driver that's still in it's alpha release.
- sophacles 4y ago> there are huge dealbreakers like sound or external HDMI I wouldn't need those, nor know they were broken if I had an M1. Sounds like the functionality I would need for a daily driver is there and solid though. Of course I'm capable of looking at lists of working features and roadmaps and deciding if something fits my use case independently of vague "pro" and "con" reviews on random discussion sites.
- eulers_secret 4y agoHN is crazy bullish about some things and it can be easy to get hyped (I’m hyped for M1, but only use FOSS). I came to this thread looking for exactly what you posted. Sure, I could check the site but I expect limitations to be discussed as well.
- pxc 4y agoTo be fair, 'rock solid' just means stable, not necessarily complete.
