alt Hacker NewsI don’t think Apple is any different than any other vendor who doesn’t bother releasing Linux drivers? support for most devices depends on the community creating them no?
If you’re a macOS fanboy presumably you don’t care about Linux support.

Which has dwindled in number so much as to practically not be problem anymore. There is even a Linux-only or Linux-first attitude with some vendors.
Buying Apple to run Linux borders on stupidity nowadays because of the vast better options fit for purpose.
Like buying a gasoline vehicle then complaining it can't run on diesel. It wasn't designed to.
Most vendors are different from Apple in that they don't have their own OS and software ecosystem that is in direct competition with Linux.
>I don’t think Apple is any different than any other vendor
Read my previous comment again!! If you buy a genuine display and install it, it won't work because Apple locks the hardware ID via firmware. It must be installed by Apple only.
No other vendor does that, the Linux community always found its way to get a non-supported hardware working.
Windows until recently with the AI slope, was the only major OS used everywhere so why many vendors only have Windows driver, I understand theirs "Why bother?"
