for me the astonishing part is not only the development speed, but also the eGPU support on Linux. That's something which just doesn't work on Mac OS and won't unless Apple decides to support third party hardware which isn't going to happen any time soon.
I hope over the next months there is a way to access eGPUs without giving up the macos installation, even if it is over some Asahi VM with direct access to the hardware somehow.
- gjsman-1000 4y agoAsahi Linux has said that the M1 is plagued by the same ARM bug as the Raspberry Pi 4, and so eGPUs will never be supported with the Linux driver. It can, theoretically, be enabled, but be prepared to give up a lot of hardware security and also expect every app you want to use to need a patch because it breaks ABI.
- nudpiedo 4y agoIf I understood it correctly, the video at the end of the post is already using an eGPU. Do you have any pointers, either blog or article, regarding the issue with arm and the raspberry pi?
