Help make Linux on Apple Silicon Macs a reality! Patreon is up: https://www.patreon.com/marcan I'm pausing billing until I get $4k/mo of commitment, so you won't be charged until there is enough momentum to make the project viable.

If everyone who voted on the Twitter poll pledges accordingly, reaching that threshold shouldn't be a problem :-) I've also seen GitHub Sponsors mentioned. I'm happy to set that up too if enough people prefer it. Previous thread:https://twitter.com/marcan42/status/1333126001161773056 …

I will begin work in January, so no charges will happen in December (i.e. today) either way. If the goal is met, the first charge will be on Jan 1st. I'll order an M1 Mac Mini to have it on hand ahead of time, if we hit the goal.

I also have some Linux support fixes to spend time on for my workstation, currently a Late 2015 iMac Retina 5K,. If I find a day or two for that in December, expect to see that as an appetizer, regardless of how the Patreon goes.

Replying to @marcan42
Nice, would that potentially include fixes for achieving 5K resolution on these Macs?

Not sure if this month, but eventually yes. I want to make amdgpu work first, since there's little point in working on the old driver.
