An interesting and, sadly, accurate read. I will miss building my Hacks, but I knew as soon as Apple announced their switch to arm64 that the good times were over.
Maybe sometime in the future we’ll have a powerful and open arm64 system that we can somehow run Apple Silicon macOS on?
I suggest reading some of the Asahi Linux wiki to get a feel for the Apple Silicon architecture. There's a lot of tight integration there with many custom co-processors, that's going to make life difficult for the prospective hackintosh.
Conversely it’s amazing how far Asahi has come. Hector Martin and team are freaking geniuses.
It really is! I can’t wait for the future where I take a couple cheap and used M1 Mac minis and run Linux servers on them.
