Ah, if we can have the hardware and the freedom of installing a good Linux repo on top of it. How is Asahi? Is it good enough? I assume, that since Asahi is focused on Apple hardware, it should have an easier time figuring out drivers and etc?
It's just not an easy task. I can't help but compare it to the Nouveau project spending years of effort to reverse-engineer just a few GPU designs. Then Nvidia changed their software and hardware architecture, and things went from "relatively hopeful" to "there is no chance" overnight.
I agree, it's a lot of work, plus Apple definitely is not not going to help with the project. Maybe an alternative is something like Framework -- find some good enough hardware and support it.
