You do realize homebrew has worked as well on Apple silicon since launch under Rosetta as it ever did on more Intel Macs?

There is essentially no regression, and Apple is donating hardware to enable Homebrew to do the work to extract more performance from the new chips.

What ‘more’ do you think they should do?

This is classic of the all or nothing attitude that anti-Apple and anti-Mac people have. Unless Apple does some Herculean task that shows they're worthy, they're shit.


Homebrew does have a policy of not having downstream patches, so that source trees upstream have to have the Apple Silicon fixes.

That makes the process much more complex.


Why should they do that? How is it in their responsibility?

They haven’t impacted homebrew users negatively at all.
