Also, Apple was questioned about this when the project started, and they basically said that they wish the project the best of luck and that Apple isn’t going to do anything to stand in their way.

As absurdly proprietary as Apple‘s hardware is, they’ve never explicitly done anything to block others from running different software on it. Yes, it is difficult to do so under certain circumstances, for all sorts of weird proprietary, Apple reasons, but to explicitly go out of their way to block it? Certainly never on their computers.

Although they do completely lock out their EFI and boot controllers, but they say that strictly a matter of preserving system security or whatever, and that’s believable. Inconvenient, but because that is also extremely proprietary, I believe them.

After all, I have fedora running on a 14 year-old iMac, and it was surprisingly easy to install. The only issues I had related to a dead internal display, but I would imagine I would also have similar problems with any other all-in-one computer with a dead internal display.
