Does this enable Mac mini dual screen on Linux? Really been looking for that before switching!


GPU and display controller are two different pieces of hardware on M1 (and on most of computers out there except PCs), so GPU driver won't change anything.


Most "computers" out there are PC's!


There are more mobile phones alone than PCs, and phones are computers with screens.


Aren't M1s PCs too? I wonder why Macs are often not counted as Personal Computers.


> The designation "PC", as used in much of personal computer history, has not meant "personal computer" generally, but rather an x86 computer capable of running the same software that a contemporary IBM PC could. The term was initially in contrast to the variety of home computer systems available in the early 1980s, such as the Apple II, TRS-80, and Commodore 64. Later, the term was primarily used in contrast to Apple's Macintosh computers.
