These kind of project reports showing consistent breakthroughs and clearly a finger on the pulse of what users are encountering as pain points are a good indication that the Asahi team are real pros :)

Look forward to switching back to Asahi full time soon!!

When I think about it, I don't understand why Apple wouldn't want to help this effort and just provide all the documentation.

All the classic reasons ("competitive advantage", "secrets", etc) do not hold water in this day and age.

"Amaze, amaze, amaze!"

I wonder if there would be interest in an Asahi Remix spin focused on a more Mac-like out-of-the-box experience: cmd as the main modifier key, Mac-like keyboard shortcuts, theming, gestures, etc.

Of course, you can tweak any distro however you want, but I think a curated default experience is a different thing.

The cynical take is that they make a shit ton of money from services and Linux running on a MacBook won’t help them do that.
