Asahi Linux 7.1 Progress Report

It is exciting that they are working on AVD driver.

I’m in absolute awe that a handful of motivated people can crack these problems

It is baffling to me that Apple, ostensibly a hardware company (that happens to be pursuing services revenue the way a crackhead pursues crack), ridiculously flush with cash, doesn’t throw 2 or 3 of their thousands of FTEs on this. The goodwill/brand marketing alone is worth their comp, and it will absolutely move units as well. Linux people LOVE laptops, and Apple makes the best laptops by a parsec. It seems like 10x ROI would be a conservative estimate.

Will this forever exist as a Fedora "remix". Or will we find the support in upstream so I can one day run Debian-based distro?

I think the last time I used an RPM-based distro was almost 2 decades ago.
