I'm tooting this from OpenBSD running XFCE on Apple Silicon. It was a bit of a learning curve, but it works better than my first Linux did. Display, keyboard, touchpad, Wi-Fi, even sound - they all work. Firefox is quite usable even without the video acceleration, but I'm not sure if I can daily-drive it if I'm not able to play videos on this machine.

@nina_kali_nina Do you know if OpenBSD Apple Silicon supports external displays connected to a USB-C port? Asahi Linux doesn't (only the real HDMI ports on Macbook Pros are supported), so I don't expect it to work in OpenBSD, but it would be nice to know...

@me_ it doesn't seem to support external displays, which is sad, because I have a Huion Kamvas...

@nina_kali_nina Thanks for the confirmation, what a pity. That makes it a bit difficult to use for teaching... I could use an AMD-based Thinkpad, but where's the fun in that? 🙂

@me_ I wonder how difficult it is going to be to add such a driver...

@nina_kali_nina I think this is one of the harder nuts to crack, the USB controller is already quite complex without the alternative DisplayPort functionality. Most of this will probably have to be reverse engineered, too.
