Not to forget the #FreeBSDFoundation and many others are working on it for some time now of course.

It probably will remain a niche market, sure, and more needs to be done, e.g. improving the driver situation, something the #FreeBSDFoundation already is working on.
But in my opinion it is a worthy target, especially considering that being at #Apple’s mercy means you have no influence whatsoever if they lose interest in the products or features that are important to you.

It would be a community project together with the #FreeBSDFoundation, so we would need to see what direction it takes, but the idea is to at least make it boot into regular multi user mode with some way to easily access the device. That way other developers can start working on and with it, like with the #PineBookPro.

#FreeBSDFoundation thank you for all you do to keep the #FreeBSD project alive and moving forward!
While these days at work I only use Linux, FreeBSD is and continues to be my first love, and to this day were it not for the kindness of the FreeBSD community and FreeBSD's exemplary documentation, I would not be where I am today.
