    This is absolutely insane. Yesterday i went to github to look what they are cooking and what they have done the last few months is on another level. Props to anyone involved.

    Maybe I’m too entrenched in FOSS political vision, but why devote these tremendous efforts to improve products of a company like Apple. I don’t understand the motivation behind Asahi linux, except “just because it can be done” ie academic purpose

      It’s not improving it cause apple can use it. It’s improving cause people can use it even after apple is not supporting it or don’t like apple’s OS.

        To me it’s similar to buying illegal animal products and showcasing it for public awareness

          It’s more like reducing global ewaste and keeping ecology better, when apple drop support, people better use still capable hardware than buy a new one from apple

      x86 isn’t open either and a lot of people like the M1’s efficiency (I’m an Asahi Linux user)

    It’s absolutely mental that a reverse-engineered hardware stack, with a bespoke gpu driver in Rust, achieved this kind of performance, in this amount of time. God tier skills, between all the engineers involved in the project

    Alyssa is an absolute legend. Every time I read a banger blog post I check the author, and on multiple sites she comes up as the OP.

    I liked how each of the sections ended with a different game that she’s gotten running so far. It makes the article feel like a progressively bigger flex, which, of course, it is. Awesome to see this work progressing!
