No, not even close. There is more that doesn't work than works. Of what I use, all I got was python3 and git. But no python3.8, no ffmpeg, no erlang, no gnutls, and on and on.

There is no need of homebrew to install ffmpeg on Apple Silicon. I could just ./configure and make on the DTK.

ffmpeg has so many configure options, I always avoid building it with brew.

Not all of the dependencies are ready (most notably, gnutls won't yet compile), so it would be the same result.

And for what I do, the default ffmpeg in Homebrew works fine.

I looked through brew.sh. Apologies if I'm missing something, but I don't think I am.

There's something really offensive about apple being too cheap to just pay some homebrew devs. And dumping the work of the arch swap onto charity effort.

I just linked you to the official page which shows what works and what doesn't work, and your response is that you're still right and everything works?
x0x0 sees that much is not working yet and it’s sad that Apple does not help by financing the effort.
Maybe try reading what I wrote.
