It still runs on Microslop. I've had to use MSDOS for far too long. but parallels, metal and so on will make it possible for me to escape. it's not out of nothing. Macroslop has made me lose so much work over the years.

Where did you see Xiaomi talking about Linux drivers.
Lenovo
Hp
Dell
And small companies specializing on Linux which offering shitty hardaware.

You don't need any Xiaomi‑specific Linux drivers. Xiaomi uses third‑party components that other manufacturers use as well. I got my drivers from Lenovo and they work flawlessly. I'm still using vanilla Windows 10 as an alternative.
