How usable is Asahi right now?

• jjtheblunt 3y ago
  daily driver usable for going on a year, lots of programming across compilers defines my notion of daily driver. speaking of "driver", some hardware drivers aren't there yet, notably audio, display brightness (either off or on), and i think sleep states aren't quite right.

    Ugh no brightness control would kill my eyes. I read somewhere that the camera also doesn't work, meaning that video calls are out of the question and that's something I use for my personal and professional life. So, not a daily driver from me just yet. Thanks for the info.

      Good point: i hadn't tried the camera. You know, if macOS fonts an zoom were as compatible with my super fortunate vision, the drivers issues alone really would be a deal breaker. but i keep AsahiLinux on my M2 because the window manager and sharpness of the display is just so much nicer than what MacOS offers (for my eyes, not for everyone).
