I mean, the entire reason the Asahi team are able to do what they do is because Apple isn’t stopping them at all (in the context of laptops/Mac Minis at least). It’s just that they’re not doing anything to help them except for maintaining the ability to boot a different OS.

> Can’t compare. Apple is way too ahead on that front

What do you mean? The whole point of a comparison is to show what is better in what categories. If one was WAY ahead in performance or price that would be heavily talked about and graphed and compared.

It's an important point that absolutely should be compared.

They do allow it, it works fine unless you need one of the not yet implemented features (HDMI out, webcam and sound mostly, although the latter can be enabled at your own risks).
