Still no thunderbolt support.

You can contribute support for it

  • Indeed, not sure why you are being downvoted. Contribute to open source with the energy you have to call out missing features.

    • Apple could contribute as well, like Intel does for their Thunderbolt controllers.

      Why are you demanding a user does that for free instead of the big corp that made the platform?

    • Because it's a lazy response. OP might not be a software developer. Should they learn complex software engineering to try and contribute or should they call out a missing feature that's important to them so the actual developers have some data on what to prioritise?

To be fair this is the thing that is likely to be the most difficult due to it being closed proprietary apple/intel tech.

  • Intel and AMD both support Thunderbolt on Linux, it's not impossible per-se.

    • And it’s not. They’re working on it, I just saw a post about it today.

      But Intel and AMD post documents to explain how to use their hardware. Apple doesn’t. So it’s not an equivalent effort by any stretch.
