Of you look at all of the work behind Asahi, it’s incredible. I’m so grateful for heroes like Alyssa who are saving millions of computers from landfills when Apple no longer supports them
How far developed is asahi now? Is every hardware working? Last time i looked into it wifi didn’t work, i think. So i thought it was not useful for me.
I’ve been using Asahi as my daily driver on my m1 MacBook for a few weeks now. The only thing I’ve noticed that seems to not work is audio through the built in speakers. I normally use Bluetooth headphones anyways so I haven’t tried to fix it.
I have traveled extensively with my m1 and gave it 2 solid drops (which left massive dents in the metal) and I feel like they are holding up. To Apple’s credit, the original os which I use for photography still feels like new after 5 years. Yes, they have a myriad of other ethical problems, but the M series have been great hardware with not bad software… So far
I had one and it died after 4 years. From what I’ve seen on the internet and what Apple’s technicians told me this isn’t an uncommon issue. Fortunately my 7-8 year old HP laptop still functions (aside from the battery which completely crapped out after 2-3 years). Also they started soldering everything to the motherboard so you have to replace almost the entire computer if it breaks.

Near the end macOS felt slow/throttled. Linux was fast though.

I applaud them for their thankless work. I hate that it’s necessary in the first place.

For M1 most things work except for USB-HDMI dongles and the fingerprint reader, I think M2 is in a similar boat now
yeah hdmi i really use often, hopefully they getting it working

Audio has been supported for a long time now, do you have “asahi-audio” installed?
That’s a bummer… As an additional data point, my M1 MBP has had great audio on Asahi
Kindof except that their build quality tanked during the late Intel era and the motherboards will die a lot sooner now
My macbook pro, 2019, just stopped charging or responding to anything in the USB ports.
Took it to repair shop abcd they said “the logic board was fried” and it needed replacing.
It’s been a while since I dabbled with hardware (built my own pcs back in the day) but is logic board just apple for motherboard?
