General answer to some of the concerns written here recently, which I understand are touching backward compatibility per se.
I find Apple not good at it too. Not worst in the game, but definitively it could learn a lot from Microsoft it they cared. I do believe they don't.
It's occasionally hard to launch app for MacOs recent 10 years ago or so. It's not possible to launch PPC OSX app on Intel OSX these days as Rosetta is long gone. Rosetta2 will be gone shortly as my assumption as well, meaning that Apple will say Intel good bye in probably 2 years or so.
There are some breaking changes that Apple introduces and makes tech obsolete, and when they make tech obsolete, it really means it will disappear from the system.
This indeed is a very unfortunate thing with Apple. I would wish, that they would allow at some distant day in the future to al least download and install old version from OS'es and build-tools. This is also true for the iPhone, iPod and iPad-Range.
I also have one prod on iPod Touch, that I can't build and watch on the original hardware anymore.
That is indeed true to some extend, but you can use old macs as I do and use the old software too. I see no need to have a mac that can run X86/ARM64/PPC/68K without using emulation.
I also see the time has come that hard and software will last much longer because apple builds it in house. The have their own hardware, their own software (OS) and last but not least their own API's (metal64).
What really bothers me is that they do not use some millions out of their postage to pay for recent AAA title-conversions. That would make 100% proof that their actual lineup is capable...and therefore forget about linus and andy for making sometimes unfair and also false comparisons.
At the end, for me M1 is a very capable chip and FAR! ahead of what I had the years before. (intel igp).

Did anybody end up buying any Apple M1 product and furthermore is running Asahi Linux on that ? I'd like to get in contact for some multicore linux benchmark testing that I coded (running fine on RPi400) ? You can find my email in the readme of my prods.
Or if you have any other ARMv8/AARCH64 device besides Cortex A53/RPi3 or Cortex A72/RPI4/400 running linux, also welcome...
