Asahi turning Mac into a viable gaming platform, kekw. Can’t wait for people to start dualbooting linux on mac hardware in order to play games.
Why do they implement an old version of OpenGL instead of just Vulkan? Vulkan is much simpler than OpenGL and also the newer standard. I don’t see the point in implementing an older standard except for backwards compatibility.
They said the hard part isn’t implementing OpenGL, it’s reverse engineering the GPU. Once they have OpenGL they can do Vulkan pretty quick
Asahi is really putting in the work to make macbooks attractive linux machines. I’d love to switch back to apple hardware when this OS is polished.
I’ve got one beside me~! Asahi’s work is breathtaking. But Apple’s BS is worse. Going frame.work next time

The new amd frame.work stuff looks really cool too, definitely a contender.
Love the Framwork concept. I switched from a Framework (11th gen Inte, 12th batch iirc) to a Macbook Air M2 relatively recently. As much as I love the concept the Framework’s short battery life, subpar speakers and annoyingly loud fan made me go with what is pretty much the polar opposite in the end. Definitely keeping an eye on Framework tho and hope the PC industry as a whole manages to catch up. The new mobile Ryzen chips are looking really promising! :)
Pretty cool, can’t wait for the day when Linux runs flawlessly on Apple hardware. Then will go out n get one second hand for testing.
I’m likely getting an M2 macbook pro from work soon, I’m excited to finally try Asahi on it after following for so long.
