Looks like moving towards openness to me, because as far as I remember, there has not been such a high-functioning Linux distro on a Mac until Asahi. And implemented in such a short period of time, on top of that. Of course I wouldn't attribute it solely to that, the Asahi team seems to be doing a phenomenal job as well.
Also, I haven't seen Linus Torvalds use a Macbook (an M2 Air running Asahi Linux) until recently either.[0]

- wkat4242 4y agoHuh, Ubuntu works perfectly on my 2010 Macbook pro. Including fringey stuff like keyboard backlight control and the ambient light sensor. Also sleep etc. I didn't even have to mess with anything, it just worked right after the install. How much more high-functioning can you get?
