I'm using Asahi Linux on an M1 MBP since Oct. 2022. It’s my personal machine that I use every now and then for programming projects and for organizing my files. Everything I need works here. I even got suspend which consumes 5% battery in 2h. It’s not perfect but enough for my limited need. All the software I need. Including Gimp, Darktable, and of course various command line/programming tools. Edit: with the edge kernel I also get 3D acceleration bit I only tested this quickly in the webbrowser with WebGL.

It's great that suspend works, but 5% for two hours is abysmal performance compared to the M1 Apple default performance. That's 60% battery over 12 hours, whereas I'd expect to lose 5% total over that entire timespan otherwise.

  I agree with you that it’s not great performance, but it seems that the figure you want is 30%, not 60%.

    Woopsie, you are correct. That's not abysmal then, merely terrible. ;)

How is audio? Can you use the speakers/headphone jack?

  2020 M1 Air Asahi edge user here. 3.5mm headphone jack audio does indeed work! Everything is buttery smooth for me. Video, trackpad, battery life, Bluetooth mouse... they all work swimmingly. Biggest downsides at the moment: - no HDMI out - no built-in speakers - bluetooth audio wonkiness KDE Plasma really shines on this machine. Much love and gratitude to the Asahi team.

  You cannot, not without hacking (speakers) Bluetooth audio is fine though, and I've not tried the headphone jack
