And Linux support on M Macs would also have a "real job", what is your point exactly?

I find it so bizarre that some of you here are defending a megacorporation that could have easily afforded to provide drivers for Linux Kernel like their competitors do.

You're clapping for free volunteers to spend hundreds of hours reverse engineering Thunderbolt controllers when companies like Intel outright contribute them.

The reverse of that argument is why are you applauding Intel for doing something they had to do well in order to get any sales?

  • I'm pretty sure Intel is providing Xenon CPUs for free when they are used in Linux servers, so they have no financial interest in providing first party Linux drivers.

    Sure, they relied on community Linux drivers in the past, but that didn't have anything to do with money.

  • There is no "applause" in my post - please learn to read before you take up your bigcorp defender shield and think for a second why you're fighting against your own benefit.
