Checkout the Asahi repos in github: https://github.com/AsahiLinux

Didn't know it was fully usable right now, amazing work!

I think one of the few last things missing is the gpu module, which is being developed with a help of a VTuber, she puts up full live coding session on YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/AsahiLina

The next kernel will be 6.0, not the one that was just pushed out and tagged.

Anyone using it fulltime? Just curious how the simple things work for you. The biggest question for me would be the keyboard, since linux seems to be much more windows like.

PS: Im on a p1 gen4 thinkapd very happy with it, BUT it is sometimes really noisy..

Title correction: From an M2 MacBook Air, which was impressively supported before it had even shipped.

Apple keyboards are the same as Windows, they just have different labels. The ALT key is called "option". CTRL is "control" and the windows key is "command".

Linus' third time using ARM64, once ``a decade+ ago when the Macbook Air was the only real thin-and-lite [machine] around'', confuses me. The original Macbook Air and successor a decade ago used Intel IIRC?

Wikipedia agrees with my memory.

He said "It's the third time I'm using Apple hardware" (i.e macs, not arm64)
