They're still working on M1 support. Still no thunderbolt or display port alt mode.
Its painful to watch people choose Apple over a user respecting company that supports Linux well
- lenerdenator 1y agoThere really aren't that many companies that respect users and support Linux well that need this sort of work done on them. Then again, the hardware that those companies release isn't quite as good as Apple Silicon, IMHO.
- superkuh 1y agoIt's not so much that other companies support Linux. It is that they support industry standards and protocols. Apple is totally vertically integrated and they always cut corners on hardware implementation to save money. This means their hardware does not work how it should and requires custom work arounds and patches if you want to run a normal OS. This is very different from PC hardware. It doesn't need to support linux. It just needs to not cut corners.
- DannyBee 1y agoi mean, i did a bunch of the m3 support that m1n1 has, and i did it because it was fun. The reason you get blinking cursor and not linux is because hacking on the linux kernel is decidely less fun (I did a bunch of wifi work).
- transpute 1y agoIs it theoretically feasible for Apple Silicon M3 (with nested hypervisor support) to run pKVM as bare-metal hypervisor?
- donaldihunter 1y agoOh, that's interesting. Linux kernel hacking is the area where I have the best chance of contributing something. If I can get my m3 max bootstrapped to a blinking cursor then I'd be very happy to participate in kernel work.
