Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

Meme transcription:

[Guy looking happy:] Hey, there’s a Linux version of that program I like

[Guy looking disappointed:] Closed Source, no ARM support

Yeah, I'm the same way, but about ThinkPad. I have a keyboard centric workflow and their keyboards + TrackPoint are great, but I also prefer Framework's philosophy. If Framework can give me either incredible battery life or a fantastic keyboard (ideally w/trackpoint and three mouse buttons), I'll get one. But until then, I'll hold on to my aging Thinkpad (pushing 8 years).

Maybe the dev leaving will be good for the project. Idk, I don't think there are that many people with the skills and interest to continue reverse engineering Apple's hardware, so any loss will have a huge impact. I'm guessing they'll scale back the pace a bit and fix stuff on existing platforms and not exist all expand much. I guess we'll see. I'm interested in Mac Mini support since that could be an awesome NAS + homelab with a USB enclosure (could probably get it working in a VM, but native would be nicer).
