Sounds great for you! What about everyone else?
replyMany people prefer to get new devices so that they can be covered by Apple Care. That completely removes Linux as an option because Asahi Linux never supports any of the recent models.
Many people don't care about Linux support in the first place. Generally these two groups are overlapping.
reply"Buy this computer, it's several generations behind and a bunch of stuff doesn't work" is not a ringing endorsement, even if it does work well enough for you.
replyI still do all my work on an M1 MBP ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
replyThat’s wonderful for you and apple.
replyWhat does Apple gain from this scenario?
replyJust to add, I also do my work from an M1 MacBook that I crammed Asahi onto. I got it used for a few hundred dollars last year and it's a perfectly fine experience (for me).
Same. If not for the required hardware refresh in our company I would have used it until it broke.
replyUSB display support was demoed at a conference at the end of last year.
replyWe’re already almost halfway through this year. A demo half a year ago isn’t shipped. This is like when Apple demos something at WWDC that doesn’t ship until 9 months later in spring the following year.
replyA patch set landed shortly there after.
