@fun@berkeley.edu.pl I would love to see #postmarketOS on an iPad Pro with an M series chip but alas Apple locks their bootloaders despite Mac computers with the exact same chip being unlocked. The iPad is a very nice piece of hardware but it's ruined by its stupid toy OS.

@CalcProgrammer1@mastodon.social @fun@berkeley.edu.pl Sadly, the iPad Pro is one of the few Apple devices you can't run postmarketOS on. We are able to run on the iPhone X and lower because of the checkm8 exploit, and we are able to run on the M-Series Mac's because of Asahi Linux's work, but anything else, Apple has total control over. (Small nitpick, Apple does not lock their bootloaders. Their bootloaders have no lock state since they aren't made to boot anything other than signed Darwin images.)
