Most developers who can't afford a laptop for each platform, or whatnot really have no business model and equity to work as a full-time developer.
Perhaps Michael could spare a piece of hardware seeing as he's gifted dozens of units per year? /s
To think Apple would ever open up the T2 to the Linux community is myopic at best, and moronic at worst. Their entire UEFI, HEVC, etc., is tied to that chip and will be in every product moving forward.
While it it is likely a long shot, maybe impossible with current management at Apple, I can dream about Linux drivers for the T2 chip. Imagine accessing Siri from Linux as easily as done on Mac OS or having access to the HEVC decoder. While I know this is unlikely to happen it does have certain appeal.
I can’t say I like every pricing move Apple has made, however with a bit of shopping at discounters and a focus on the right price points, the value equation really isn’t that bad with Apple Mini hardware. This even more so if you factor in T2 and other Apple innovations.
