:) I think we have a surprise in store here. Asahi don't have a monopoly over Linux for Apple Silicon, and upstream Linux absolutely does *NOT* ban LLMs.

  i install proprietary modules for nvidia all the time, i'm not going to care if i have to do it for something else that i own

    Nvidia's kernel module is open source these days, it's the usermode stack that's still closed.

      Even though the kernel module is open-source (sort of, development still happens behind closed doors), it's still an out-of-tree module, rather than being built into the kernel, which would give you as smooth an experience as with AMD or Intel, who's GPUs literally do just work on any distro with no fuss.

        It’s never gonna be a smooth experience with Linux on Macs, because of installation, but also firmware upgrades etc. there’s always some manual steps involved and nothing will change unless Apple itself starts supporting Linux natively

      Can't wait for someone to point an LLM at that and "open it up" ;-)
