Apple Touch Bar Linux Driver Hopes For Upstream In 2021

You might want netBSD then. Linux is not _that_ crazy.

Where's the netbsd port for nintendo 64 then ?

edit: Damned.. looks like Murachue did both...

There are quite a few hardware where I would have loved to see Linux running first. Super Famicom for example...

It's not like some elves work on that hardware support. All individual contributors only work on whatever they want.

Linux is famous for supporting old stuff.

Why? The touch bar has already been scrapped.

Heh. Maybe under Linux the 'feature' may find some actual use. I work in a creative sector where I am pretty much the only non-Mac user in the entire department, and even I can't find anyone that ever had anything good to say about the touch bar!

Glad to see the start of upstreaming this code. Handling the many out-of-tree and poorly maintained gits for this code has been a real PITA.

Old hardware never dies, it just turns into someones Linux box who then wants driver and kernel support for 20 years....

No, it hasn't https://www.apple.com/v/macbook-pro-...u_large_2x.jpg and the existing devices don't just evaporate.
