I think the Asahi Linux project rekindles some of that excitement from the earlier days of Linux on PC-compatibles in the late '90s and early '00s. Some people might not remember this, but hardware support for Linux was a real crapshoot back then, and it's only "mostly smooth" on PC today because we have a quarter century of work building out drivers and modules for the platform. It's fun watching the breakneck pace at which they are going through the same processes with a brand new and proprietary consumer-oriented computing platform.
