And the end goal is to upstream all the work so that we can run, for example, Debian in Macs? Also, is anyone else afraid of the possibility of Apple deciding

  As I understand it, while the core pieces required for Linux to run on Apple Silicon will be upstreamed, there are parts that smooth the experience out and make it more practical that are unlikely to be integrated into other distributions, which necessitates Asahi's continued existence as a distribution.

    It should be noted, Marcan has said that the ultimate, eventual goal is for Asahi to no longer have to exist as a distro. That may be a long way off however!

    This is a similar model to the KDE Neon distribution, which upstreams basically everything but gives some benefit to developers working on the KDE project.

  > Also, is anyone else afraid of the possibility of Apple deciding to screw us up by imposing restrictions to prevent people specifically from doing this for...reasons? According to Marcan, Apple explicitly went out of their way to support secure booting of other OSs as well. Also, it’s hard to predict, but I think it would only increase revenue if the small, but rich linux-using software community would choose MacBooks as “the next thinkpads”, and it’s not like most people would not just have both OSs available and switch between them.
