And then the corresponding uptightness will be “FOO_PROJECT is aligned with the Intel monopoly”, and just as many people will be unhappy. You can see this in many recent threads about Apple not providing free access to M1 documentation for alternative OSes they’re under no obligation to support.



That was, of course, a complaint about Linux back in the day. It turned out nobody cared enough to stop Linux development.


That’s pretty much verbatim the reply I had when people on here were prognosticating it for the M1, other than adding that they also promoted Linux virtualization in the announcement.
