Re: Is a Devuan build for the new Apple M1 chip possible?

Linux will gain some M1 support for v5.13:

Indeed, but it is still precarious support..
But is better than nothing.. with time I believe support will come,
The Graphics driver will be the most difficult challenge..

Re: Is a Devuan build for the new Apple M1 chip possible?

Such intense Apple hate... Are they really any worse than Intel?

Fuck yes. Intel have contributed a huge amount to Linux, Apple are a bunch of twats.

I would say that what you just said here, is too kind to apple, they are much worse than that...

They are like google, only less dangerous.

I say less dangerous, because their changes dont have any effect on other hardware other than apple approved hardware.

Thus, Google is still 2x worse at least due to their stuff getting engrained in so many things.

Although Redhat is just as bad as Apple due to their sneaky methods of forcing systemd and other crap down peoples' throats.

Just my two cents.

Black Lives Matter!  I am white, but I prefer equality over hatred.
Haughtiness comes before a fall, pride before destruction.
Peace be with you!
No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and mammon!

Debian now runs on the M1:

The display driver works and will be added to the mainline kernel in due course.

EDIT: and the developer runs a dwm desktop. Nice.
