Re: [PLUG] Arch on an M1 MacBook Pro


But why......?

Why would you spend money on an overpriced status symbol and then
deliberately 'cripple'(*) it. Is this some kind of sick joke that I'm
too poor to comprehend?
Is it to have the ability to flash the apple logo on the outside of your
device while still being able to do 'real' computing on the inside? No
doubt that person will be snubbed and scoffed at by the intended
audience of whom they are flashing the outside logo at. What's the point?

(*) I do not mean that Arch is a crippling OS (quite the opposite, I
love Arch); instead I mean to say "that thing is designed for macOS and
macOS is designed for that thing, anything /but/ macOS on that thing
will always be a second-rate experience - by design"
