On: Yuzu emulator developers settle Nintendo lawsuit, pay $2.4M in damages

I'll also go as far to say, if you support Nintendo here. You also are supporting Apple shutting down Asahi linux.

All Apple will need to claim is that Asahi is bypassing some "client side protection", and Asahi is shut down.

Apple Silicon machines have a "permissive security" mode which allows booting unsigned third party kernels. Asahi isn't circumventing anything, this is a officially supported feature.

Apple spent substantial engineering effort modifying their iOS bootloader so that Apple Silicon Macs could load third party kernels.

If Apple wanted to kill Asahi Linux, they could just remove this functionality from iBoot.

Apple will not remove this functionality, because they would not have added it in the first place if they did not want people to be able to use it.

Is Asahi bypassing some client side protection?
