Asahi Linux runs great on all of the M-series Macs
- awesomepeter 2y agoI think my M3 isn't supported yet and won't be for some time
- Rinzler89 2y agoYeah, on the Macs, not on the iPad though which is what my comment as talking about, that the M4 chip is just wasted there and only for the flex.
- treyd 2y agoThere's a lot of long tail issues with peripherals that still need to be worked out, to be fair. Sound wasn't enabled until fairly recently because they were still testing to ensure the drivers couldn't damage the hardware.
- evilduck 2y agoTo be fully fair, that's the status quo for Linux on hardware that didn't ship with Linux support as a selling point. I had issues with Intel Wifi 6 hardware compatibility on a Lenovo laptop within the last year or so. On 3 different x86 laptops with fingerprint readers, I've never been able to get any of them to function in Linux. One one of my laptops, the sound works but it's substantially degraded compared to the drivers for Windows on the same hardware. Another supports the USB4 port for data but won't switch to DP alt mode with it, though it works in Windows. On the other hand, my Steam Deck shipped with Linux and everything works great. Linux not supporting your hardware perfectly is just the nature of the beast. Asahi on Apple hardware meets [very low linux user] expectations.
