Apple M4/Linux 兼容性及生态闭锁的使用痛点
问题概述
在 Linux on M4 的博客文章与 Hacker News 评论中，用户普遍反映 Apple Silicon 的 Linux 支持需要大量逆向工程，触控协议等生态闭锁导致第三方外设功能受限，且缺乏官方文档，开发者和用户面临较高的上手门槛和生态受限的问题。
痛点标签
- Linux on M4 硬件状态（如电源管理、CPU 休眠）缺乏官方支持，需大量逆向工程才能运行。
- macOS 触控协议专有闭源，第三方 trackpad 必须模拟鼠设备，功能受限，无法实现完整手势。
- Apple 生态形成天然护城河，开放硬件替代选择少，用户被锁定在 macOS 与官方配件间。
待验证问题
- 是否愿意尝试使用第三方方案替代 Apple 生态以获得更开放的硬件支持？
- 是否关注 Asahi 项目等开源努力在 M4 上的进展，是否有继续关注的需求？
- 是否有意愿参与或支付资源用于逆向工程闭源触控协议以改善第三方外设兼容性？

Imagine how big Apple would/could be if they embraced open hardware. They do have a moat here. macOS is so bloated, I hate it, but the hardware is just so much better than anything else.

These bring-up debugging writeups read like detective novels. Impressive how much gets reverse engineered from a handful of weird symptoms.

Not related to this but the other day I was searching for a good external trackpad that would work with macOS and there are very few (and not good) and every discussion was about how nothing comes close to Apple magic trackpad. The question is why can't other companies create such a good trackpad for macOS, it turns out they can't because the whole protocol for touchpad/gestures etc are proprietary and closed on macOS side so essentially any 3rd party trackpad has to emulate a mouse device. Thats what you get when a company makes computer and its OS and also its accessories and also software services, the whole stack, you either use their whole thing or not.
