       @domi isn't this exactly the job of the TPM? Each boot stage submits a hash of the next boot stage it's about to hand over control to, and you can ask the TPM for a signed proof of the system being in the expected state (boot hashes + time). Then that second trusted device needa to have a public key for the tested device's TPM and you can verify if it's the right thing even if the OS is compromised.

       @domi nah, I don't think it'll kill small compositors. The existing "meta" of X11 WMs will very likely die because it's a massive effort to detach a project like that from X11, but with libs like wlroots, swc or smithay the bar to clear is muuuch lower than reinventing the whole userspace display stack from scratch again.If anything, X11 has to finally die for real instead of being kept on perpetual life support for those smaller WMs to kick off for real.

       @quad this is the same limitation as on the iPhone 16 (same chip). (It might be that the display controller is cut down/too slow to drive higher resolutions, especially that earlier M1/M2 chips had weird hardware limitations in the display controller dependent on the SKU.)

       @asie update (note that we're 2/3rds into March, so it'll probably land around 2k at the current rate)
