It would technical possible for Apple to have dual boot, and you could boot macOS when you connect to an external display. But I guess it would not be good for business
That wouldn't be even needed. Just add back macos features to iOS and iPadOS
It would be quite nice if they added some MacOS features back to MacOS instead of trying desperately to turn it into a mobile phone OS.
That said, Sequoia is so objectively awful it finally gave me the kick I needed to nuke my MacBook Air and install Asahi, and I'm genuinely really impressed. The only shame is having to waste 80gb of disk for a MacOS partition that I'll never use, but otherwise it's actually good enough to be a daily driver.
Sequoia? I felt like that was a nice improvement, do you mean Tahoe with its awful liquid ass design?
Actually it was Sequoia that was the last straw for me to get rid of most of my Macs (replaced them with Linux machines in the main - I was just so sick of Apple trying to turn the OS into a phone while not fixing basic known bugs that have been around for years - like forgetting external display layouts one in ten boots, not restarting external drives properly after sleep, and the finder being, well, everything about the finder...) And constantly having to fight with crappy "oh, today all your builds are going to fail because I've decided
ld.soisn't trusted any more" locked down platform nonsense. And creeping "you don't need to know where your files are stored, they're In The Cloud, stop asking for a file dialog (and that's why we'll never fix the finder btw)" type crap from the ever increasing number of un-uninstallable crapware applications wasting disk space with every update...But yeah, you're right - the visual horrorshow that is Tahoe was the trigger to finally give Asahi a try on my last remaining Mac.
Shame really; until a couple of years ago I'd had exclusively Macs for desktops & laptops since the late 90s (from the lovely Powerbook G3 Lombard on.)
