Now try modifying the software that Apple sold you with it.

Yeah that's been a major headache. I ssh into my server/desktop most of the time anyways, so there is no friction there. Then also I was surprised by how well VMs with OrbStack on Mac run. With yabai and skhd I've gotten it pretty closely to where I previously was with i3.

Even still, I'm looking forward to the day where I can run Asahi on this

Three employers in a row insisted on handing me a macbook, and three times in a row I ported Gentoo to it out of pure spite and disdain for third parties trying to control the binaries I use to do my job.

At the time they called this crazy and unproductive, but those obsessions with control of my tools built the foundational skillsets that drove my career.

If you struggle with Yabai I'll reccomend Aerospace, which I think is more performant & reliable.

They don't document the hardware, but it is possible to run unsigned code on the SoC - that's how the Asahi Linux project is able to exist.
