> this has been happening for months and they don't give any reports about their progress This seems a bit exaggerated, their latest progress report is barely two months old: https://asahilinux.org/2025/12/progress-report-6-18/ They inarguably have slowed down, but this should be expected as the project matures. It has also inevitably now faced the time when new generations of contributors are needed as existing ones…

>as the project matures How can it be mature if it can't even boot on newer MacBooks. The slowness does not seem to be due to running out of impactful work that needs to be done.

That's some weird gatekeeping. The hardware they do support is supported well.

One can start working on creation of a teleportation device. Doesn't mean we have it. https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m3/ What do you see as progress here? Nothing is supported, everything is "to be announced" (i.e. unsupported).

they likely meant this progress post showing a desktop booting on an M3 mac: https://www.reddit.com/r/AsahiLinux/comments/1qnddjd/m3_now_... albeit with software graphics

Looks believable that they are indeed the devs behind the project, but it's weird to post stuff like that to... reddit? They have a site for the project, why not post there?

You could read the updates... https://asahilinux.org/2025/10/progress-report-6-17/

Not marketing a not yet complete feature on their website makes total sense. People on internet hating Asahi linux just cause seems like weird to me.
