Maybe I’m too entrenched in FOSS political vision, but why devote these tremendous efforts to improve products of a company like Apple. I don’t understand the motivation behind Asahi linux, except “just because it can be done” ie academic purpose
It’s more like reducing global ewaste and keeping ecology better, when apple drop support, people better use still capable hardware than buy a new one from apple

I hate macOS therefor it’s useful cause I like to tinker. And make things do things.
It’s not improving it cause apple can use it. It’s improving cause people can use it even after apple is not supporting it or don’t like apple’s OS.
To me it’s similar to buying illegal animal products and showcasing it for public awareness
“It’s not to support the poachers but to raise awareness”

x86 isn’t open either and a lot of people like the M1’s efficiency (I’m an Asahi Linux user)
