That’s fine, I don’t have and I’m sure will never get Apple Silicon anyway, the new machines are extremely expensive, deliberately fragile and difficult to repair and maintain, and I hate the direction MacOS is going in (worse UI, genAI – one advantage of not having apple silicon is the ai bullshit doesn’t run on older chips!)
If your device has nvidia graphics you will need proprietary drivers, otherwise the kernel should “just work” without any tinkering. So if you have to buy new hardware, avoid an nvidia discrete GPU. But if that’s what you have, you can work around it. Intel and amd integrated graphics work great out of the box.
Cool! Thanks for the suggestion :)
