No Building Linux support for Apple hardware requires kernel, GPU, and firmware driver work reverse-engineered from hardware, which vibe coding cannot substitute for.
What it would actually take: A real version needs kernel patches, device-tree and driver development for Apple Silicon peripherals (GPU, audio, Wi-Fi, power management), plus a reproducible image-build pipeline. The hard part is reverse-engineering undocumented hardware interfaces, so it requires experienced low-level kernel and driver engineers, often with access to test hardware.
