 Ni>> I've heard good reviews of Apple's M* machines.  If someone isn't a big

I don't know what's "political" about that (I certainly don't think I mentioned anything political); and I didn't say Apple did a bad move with their Apple Silicon either. I was just curious if Linux supports them.  I don't see why Linux couldn't take advantage of the potential of that platform (eventually, at least), but maybe I don't know enough about it?  If Apple wants to prevent an OS like Linux from running on it, that would actually seem a bit wierd to me..

I was actually thinking that a platform like Apple Silicon + an OS like Linux could be a good combination.
