OpenBSD boots multi-user on Apple M1 hardware

I get it. It's a matter of perspective.

As a Linux/ OpenBSD user, Mac hardware is suddenly a bit more appealing.

As a Mac user, the reverse it not true. OpenBSD or Linux are no more appealing than it was before the switch.

As for the rest of your post, I feel like the conversation is moving here under me. Use whatever OS you want. I don't see a ton of Mac people on here discouraging or disparaging any of this. I do see a a fair number of posts like the top one. "Running an alternative OS natively on a Mac doesn't seem very appealing to me." Which I don't see as the same as what you are suggesting.

This is a solid reply, thanks.

I like those middle 2 lines; for a user of a free OS, Mac hardware is interesting, but the reverse is not true.

And sure, "use whatever OS you want" is kind of my point too. I have seen the Mac community at large seeming to not have that live and let live attitude. Not anyone on this thread, but I think it is a thing that happens.
