OK. Not sure I agree Opencode is mature, having used it enough and seen the source code, but if that is the level of attention to detail that now qualifies as “mature” then I understand why my comment upset people so much and I apologise.

I think it ought to be possible to understand my comment without assuming it is Apple fandom; it’s not.

I am just one of those developers who use Linux daily as a remote/VM work environment, from a MacBook, from personal choice. I have for decades. There is a kubuntu laptop on my desk too (a Framework) which is fine; I have more or less always had GUI linux around too. But my own LLM dabbling is happening on an M1 Max, like so many others, because I am not a gamer or home build PC guy (this century at least) so I don’t have a PC with a GPU. (Yet. I am LLM-cynical but I can see running a dedicated machine for this in principle)

The suggestion about Apple (who I don’t believe are yet “out of the picture” in any meaningful sense) acquiring LM Studio was an idle reflection on them being the most Apple-ish of the options, that’s all. They need something; LM Studio is closest to what they need.
