This is great work and I commend it. But in other threads people are acting like Asahi Linux hardware support is 100% complete. My fear is that if I were to go this route and purchase the hardware I'd be seeing fraction of the performance and capability I would in Mac OS. To be honest this blog post seems like the project has a long ways to go, not that it is nearly completion.

I just can't justify buying hardware from a company that is so hostile to developers and hackers as nice as it may be.

You don't create a new bootloader that allows users the freedom to run an unsigned third party OS without having it degrade the system's security if and when they boot the native OS because you are "hostile to developers and hackers".

My laptop can use TPM and a hardware key with my keys and free software. Where is the degraded security?

You seem unfamiliar with the Alder Lake compromise.

Indeed. Care to give a link? Quick DuckDuckGo search returned nothing.

Sure: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2023/05/leak-...

The gaggle of moving parts that are involved in the PC world make security and privacy substantially more challenging because of nonsense like this - a vendor with rubbish security (not even an HSM for critical signing keys!) compromising the broader world.

Thanks. It seems this confirms that my own keys are more secure, because with them such problem couldn't occur.
