Some additions. Let’s see what is going on with Mac Ports. Many programs (all 
that I need) are running natively on M1. Why should it not be possible to do 
the same with darktable? Even if OpenCL should not be available, the 
performance of darktable on M1 without OpenCL is very impressive (compared to 
my Intel Mac).
