Wahoo, we now support hardware 9 years old

Indeed, Apple started producing laptops with two gpus around nine years ago and makes them until today. All the machines with an Intel gpu and gmux chip are supported. The newer ones apparently include less potent Intel gpus, so with the 2016 models one might want to use the radeon driver; we will include this soon.
By the way, the link to gizmodo is misleading. Those particular nine year old models DragonFly do not support since they contain two NVidia chips. At present, the earliest models DragonFly can drive are slightly newer, the ones with an Intel gpu.
Can anyone boot dragonflybsd in a MBP retina? Because dfbsd only partially supports UEFI.
