People who don't buy a Mac end up buying an old ThinkPad and installing Gentoo on it, which is arguably even worse 😖

@newt @m0xee I will be using my Mac until I cannot anymore, and then I have a plan in place to use macOS in a VM or container, where I can compile Xcode.

If everything else fails, I'll buy the less retarded Mac Mini I can.

But Husky for iOS will happen, one way or another :comfy:

Emulating an ARM system would certainly not be viable, but why bother — I think they still release binaries of Xcode and friends for Intel Macs.
Not without some hacks, but booting Mac OS X (or whatever they call it now) for Intel inside a VM should not be an issue.
At some point they will stop though and start only releasing binaries of dev tools for ARM, then it would be a problem.
