I fully support this effort and the Linux port for the eventual time when Apple does eventually stop supporting this hardware. But at that point in time, I won't be relying on it for work anymore, it will be a hobby/ project, much like my G4 iMac.

In the mean time, it's very fun seeing how quickly people are making progress on this.

The point of this discussion is your ability to run a free OS on an M1 Mac.

Or rather the lack of ability to run a free os on M1.
