Of this work? We're taking it all the way to shipping a distro with full hardware support on all released Macs and later to upstream Linux. We've taken significant care to respect …

We're available on Discord if you want to help with development! I know what has to be done to make wifi sing and don't think it'll take too long, Niklas already has the DCP covere…
