Here's a clue, for you.  In 2010, I purchased a MacBook, with a two-
core CPU, 2 GB RAM, and the novelty of OS X AKA macOS wore off before
long, and I tried using Boot Camp, which sucked because to switch
between them required fully shutting down one, to boot the other, so I
put Win7 on it alone.  I then ended up wanting it out of my house, and
gave it to a friend who favored laptops.  She loved it.  But a few
months later, it croaked, less than a year old.  Windows was a beast
for that Apple hardware, even though it was entirely compatible as far
as using it.  It's not about whether it'd boot and operate, it's about
the long-term stability of the *hardware*.  That's why M$ is implying
that you're on your own, if you put Win11 ARM on a newer Mac.

It's not anything about that, they just don't wanna be responsible
when you fry your computer, with their bloated crapware.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
