That being said, my M1 Mac is kinda a paper weight until Asahi Linux gets further along. For now it’s my back-up device as I get more familiar with Linux! The hardware was nice, but I’ve certainly appreciated being able to play games!
that’s kind of ironic these days. 10 years ago it was more likely to be able to play on mac than Linux, since games with Linux ports likely also had mac ports. but then you have games like league of legends that have a native mac version but not Linux.
Oh for sure! It’s strange assuming my Linux device “just works” when it comes to games. Where as getting Diablo4 running on my ARM macbook was a really involved task. Personally, I’d like Apple to be more inviting and open to developers using different Graphics APIs so I could play games on the device, but that’s kinda like asking a dog to speak.
I use Linux (Kubuntu) on iMac 2012 and it works just well. Everything works perfectly and the graphics are even smoother than the stock macOS. GPU is too outdated for latest DXVK but older versions still work. HDD is slow but that is expected.
Is one lesson not to use Linux on Apple hardware?
Oh no! I’m on a Rog Zephyrus!
