#172I noticed upon Apple silicon that when you’re emulating x86 via Colima, performance falls off a cliff.
Everything is instant for me on dwm on my AMD Thinkpad

#173I cannot wait for Linux to be fully usable on my Apple Silicon MBP. That is going to be such a killer environment to develop on. Crazy fast hardware, great high refresh screen, insane battery life, fantastic touchpad, gestures and keyboard.

I'm wondering if an M1 MacBook would actually have such a good battery life on linux. The processor is very power efficient, but I'd (naively) assume that MacOS's power management probably has a big influence too. In the same way that Linux laptops usually have a bad battery life compared to the same hardware on Windows. How good is Asahi when running similar workloads? And is it possible that it could reach parity with "stock" MacOS?
(I'm sure linux is in theory just as power efficient as MacOS or Windows, but distros are just usually not very concerned or capable of tuning it well enough.)

What's wrong with the performance?
A comparable m1 is twice as fast in the above benchmarks? And that’s Apple’s chip from 2 years ago! Core for core this is a dog.
altra is also > 2 years old, so the age of the apple chip doesn’t matter
Neoverse N1 is hardly a dog. It’s a decent enough core in a server processor that has 80 of them.
Altra is not intended to compete core for core with any laptop/desktop/workstation processor.

Doesn't performance always fall off a cliff when emulating?

APFS has some kind of “file provider” API that apparently allows user space file systems. No idea how hard it is to use or if it’s well documented.

Do we know what doesn't work yet? I'm rooting to get Asahi onto my M1 mbp and have fallen out of the loop as to what is pending to be done on the Asahi side of things

I would consider myself quite the power user and use both macOS and Linux daily…
I don’t really understand, from the developer perspective, your concerns about macOS?
While I prefer the feel of Linux, macOS is more than sufficient for almost any development I do (which also involves a lot of container/VM development and I’ve never felt this was slow).

Do they ever sell old graviton machines as salvage? Arenithey on revision 3 now? I'd like one of those.
You can find the Annapurna Labs AL73400 (Graviton 1st gen) in some devices, but I'm not sure you can easily install your own OS.
Precisely today, given the lack of SBCs stock and the price rises, I was checking small routers as options. I.e., a basic mikrotik router is 30 something euros, and in some models it supports OpenWRT.
Some of their more powerful routers have a bunch of ARM cores (no video out, though) and I think I've seen people using OpenWRT there.
For a while they were using Annapurna Labs CPUs, and I've seen that in some high end Netgear wireless routers from 2017, and I see people selling those with OpenWRT on eBay. I don't know their performance, but I'd like to try that instead for a mini server instead of an expensive and virtually inexistent RPi.
There goes a list of routers with Annapurna Labs processors, I'll see tomorrow if I find around some OpenWRT builds for them.
