From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Lobsters, shortened. Read the full thread on Lobsters.
A data center of proprietary laptops was not on my 2026 bingo card…
The way Apple handles hosting is extremely infuriating, yeah. At least it's laptops now, and not the "trash can" Mac Pro. Nothing rackmounts better than something that's round!
>but unfortunately it cannot run macOS (it requires an Apple proprietary environment that third parties cannot, or shouldn’t, try to recreate). There's actually nothing preventing you from implementing everything needed to run macOS in the EULA, it just requires it to run on Apple hardware.
