Gregory's Server@marcan so, honest question, why aren’t there groups like Asahi but doing it for other vendors? For example an “Asahi for ThinkPads”.. What makes Asahi and the Apple hardware different? Is the reason technical, funding, something else?

@pauldoo @marcan I'd say the difference is that apple is a huge vendor, in number of computer sold, but that sells a vey small number of different models, and they are releasing right now hardware unmatched by anything the competition has to offer, aka Apple Silicon, beating everyone on Perf/W by a lot.
Making things work on AS Macs is something that is attractive: 1. It's a challenge for nerds 2. It has pretty clear benefits (unmatched hardware) 3. Wide applicability (lots of macs around).
