Comments by "Gilad Barlev" (@GSBarlev) on "Asahi Linux Working Vulkan Drivers In Just 1 Month" video.

While I have been thoroughly impressed by the M1 macbooks (and have felt strongly that the bloated macOS is what's holding it back), the fact remains that macs—laptop and desktop—are NUSPIs¹ to a degree that even Dell and Lenovo could scarcely dream of. Guarantee that if your screen goes bad or your touchpad disconnects, Apple will refuse to touch it if they turn it on and see a KDE splash screen. ¹No User Serviceable Parts Inside

It'll be interesting to see if they get "Sherlocked" the same way the gigachads at CodeWeavers got shafted when Apple: 1. took CW's open source work on WINE 2. rolled out an extremely lazy (but officially supported) DX-to-Metal translation layer 3. And made CodeWeavers' product in that space obsolete overnight.

@Storya-tq5gy Are the snapdragon laptops more repairable? And is it expected that they will be able to run Linux without an Asahi level of effort? (I don't know—I'm actually asking)

@richardpurves That's good to hear, and I'm happy to be corrected.
