It wouldn’t even be a problem for Apple to support Linux. Linux’s desktop market share has never been a threat to Apple at all. I hope Ternus, being the engineer he is, opens this up.


The sad part is that it's known that Apple internally maintains Linux ports to their SoCs

Hmm, odd listing. Looks like an embedded linux job working on a BSP, but they don't have any hardware I know of which ships with Linux. Even their constrained environments use things like their own L4 variant or RTKit.


I don't think Linus Torvalds has any sway on what Apple does. Or do you mean John Ternus, the new CEO?


My phone autocorrected Ternus to Torvalds, what a catch!

Kinda funny and definitely a word suggestion that will be locked in future code.


Also it's "Ternus" with an "n"


Fixed. Thanks!


This message would be so badass if you were Ternus himself!
