- speed_spread 3y agoStandard Linux distros are available for [Dell, Lenovo, others] ARM hardware and they work much better than anything Asahi-based. Asahi deserves _a lot_ of respect, but a full-on stable distribution it is not. Maybe in a year, after Fedora has fully ingested Asahi lessons will we get a non-experimental distribution for Apple hardware. Also maybe by then will we have another generation of non-Apple aarch64 CPU that will close the performance gap with the admittedly superior M chips.
