personally think it will be like iphone soon and not with new machine but with firmware update
because is new capitalist trend like chinese companies hard locking bootloaders on phones like on iphone and more
i personally use mbp14 on NixOS and its awesomeeee soo much
and yes i deleted macos ignoring asahi team “you will dont get firmware updates”(for what? to get a brick because apple make new rules? to get slower machine because tim wants to you buy new M963773 Pro Max Ultra Plus) etc etc “how you will repair if something broke” (recoveryOS terminal just exist)
my next laptop will be framework if macbook die
linux works many times better than tim bloatware

I very much doubt it. The only reason Asahi is even installable is because M series Mac were designed to allow installing other OSes. I know that sounds crazy, especially with all the reverse engineering needed to get Asahi to work. But without intentional design on the part an Apple engineer working on the initial M series chip, installing alternative OSes would be impossible.
Interesting. What are the articles you recommend to read about this subject?
Honestly, I saw it in a video recently that i cant remember. It showed some screenshots of the engineer’s Twitter taking about it.
Right now Asahi increases the value of ARM based Macs slightly since there’s another market of people who will buy them.
Once Asahi means that people can keep end-of-life ARM based Macs running, the calculation for Apple will change.
I’m not sure it will, because Asahi isn’t selling anything, and hardware that Apple EOLs is hardware that Apple doesn’t care as much about
I like risky sports (relative for some people it might be boring) but when I have to work or even play I want stuff that just works. I can’t imagine using a laptop and wondering every day if this is the last update to my OS I might get.
Sure Apple laptops might be great hardware, you might love the design, etc but just the fact that this question exists make it impossible to consider such hardware.
TL;DR: I don’t know and I don’t want to care. Please support OEMs who are not making money by selling locked hardware.
Asahi Linux is basically top notch engineering for free. Unless it gets (really) big, I don’t see any reason for Apple to even consider putting it down.
i doubt apple will ever care; yellowdog got pretty big and apple didn’t notice that they existed.
yea asahi team are really doing amazing work even m3, m4 support will be soon
I was so bummed when I upgraded to the m3pro. asahi on my m2pro was BA. can’t wait for more supported devices!

also apple really do brick after firmware update but to everyone not only asahi users by using 60Hz screen refresh rate :clown_emoji:
