I just wanna run fedora on an M4 already

Edit: I hope she feels safe and is able to put whatever it was behind her. She's a brilliant engineer.

Don't count on it. According to their website not even M3 is supported.

Yes, I know. Asahi has been a couple years behind apple architecture. It took almost two full years before M1 was supported.

It'll be be even longer if the top devs keep leaving the project.

Nouveau is supported by Red Hat and even that's not a suitable replacement for proprietary NVidia drivers and that's only the GPU part. An entire computer platform is an even bigger task, so unless Apple starts releasing some source code under a usable license, the project will always play catchup.

It takes a special type of person to be a Foss developer. There isn't a lot of pay and unfortunately a lot of people seem to feel entitled to your work. It's a hard thing to manage. I know the head of the project left because of that feeling. Not sure what this new departure is about exactly. Though it could be related to him just as much as anything else.

Hell is other people especially in FOSS.

Yea the FOSS community is one of the most toxic big communities I've ever seen.
