If it's ok to run graphics on CPU (it supposedly is good enough) then we might have Mx MBAs running linux fairly soon. Hopefully not in 4-5 years anyway! FYI,

FYI, "liberating" Intel macbooks has been possible for years, my 2015 mbp has been running Linux since 2019.
- nicoburns 4y agoThe GPU driver is already available.
- kreetx 4y agoBut it's an alpha, right? ARM is a architecture, so it's much easier to get working while maturing the GPU driver will take time. EDIT: Nevermind, development status summarized here https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support
- nicoburns 4y agoI mean the whole of Asahi is still quite immature, but my understanding is that the GPU driver has hit usable status.
- goosedragons 4y agoThe T2 models don't run Linux well still and probably never reach amazing levels. I don't think the keyboard/mouse driver is in the kernel yet still despite it being 5 years on for those models.
- pantalaimon 4y agoThere is just not as much invest in the T2 models because otherwise they are just boring old x86 machines.
