I've been hoping for a Silicon Valley style dramedy series about the early days of open source. My headcasting for this has Donal Logue as Richard Stallman, Nick Offerman as Eric Raymond, and Cory Michael Smith as Linus.
I'd love to see a dramatization of the making of the Macintosh. I read Revolution In The Valley not too long ago and it's fascinating to read about the personalities of the people who created that machine. I think it would be a nice compliment to Halt and Catch Fire--a Mac version to their PC-Compatible show.
Sure, but when it's the fourth or fifth treatment about the relatively recent founding of a single company that is still dominant in the present day, and that treatment is sponsored by the company in question, it comes off as self-serving.

I really hope Apple will make a folklore.org show in the style of Halt and Catch Fire.

It's been done though with HCF, why would anyone but superfans want to see the same thing again?

Exactly this. I would love to see the Japanese Sony engineer hiding in the closet from Steve Jobs.
It's not unusual for there to be many fictional treatments of the same history/source material.
