I've been using Asahi Linux since the alpha was released March 18th 2022. Because I used an M1 Mac Mini and many of the features (WiFi/HDMI) were ready then, it became my daily driver a few weeks after that.
Today, I run Asahi Linux on a M1 Ultra Mac Studio using Sway (https://triosdevelopers.com/jason.eckert/stuff/AsahiSwayM1Ultra.png https://triosdevelopers.com/jason.eckert/stuff/AsahiSwayM1Ul...), and 100% of the features I use are there in Asahi kernels and userspace (sound/Bluetooth/audio/HDMI/USB/10G Ethernet/WiFi/GPU driver).
In short, it's the fastest RISC Linux workstation you'll find, and has been rock solid in every way. In fact, it's so fast, it messes up the timing of K3s (you just have to remember to put resource limits on each pod to prevent the CrashLoopBackOffs).
- sliken 4y agoUse the accelerated GPU at all? I've been watching the progress with async, batching, and related. But I've not seen any benchmark numbers or any idea of performance.
- jasoneckert 4y agoI haven't benchmarked the GPU in any way because I'm not a gamer. However, as soon as the GPU driver was available I installed it and immediately noticed that all desktop graphics and video were fast/smooth as you'd expect on macOS/Windows. I did open the only game I had installed (Extreme Tux Racer, which ran poorly before), and it also ran fast/smooth.
