Those that don’t like it? That’s fine too.
I like the article series, haven’t read all of them yet but will now that it’s finished.
Normally this type of article is shunned by the main mac websites, nice to see it.
This is very analogous to building a kit car.
Quite a bit of work and know-how required. Can build any old crazy setup if you want. Could be crazy fast or whatever. You’ll get no support whatsoever. And it better not be your daily driver.
