This is more than enough of an answer for the people that went "wHy BoThEr?" when this project started.

All of this great work, all of it upstreamed and a big part of it will (hopefully) influence even x86_64 machines if distros, communities and companies start supporting them. speakersafetyd sounds like a godsend for all laptop speakers, the pipewire energy-efficiency work sounds lovely for all laptops, specially more recent Intel ones, with P and E cores.

Also they’ve submitted not only bug reports but numerous fixes in many components not even belonging to them but applicable to any ARM systems and in some cases even AMD64. Their productivity is mad, their attitude awesome and they’ve benefited the entire open source community. Thank you to the Asahi Linux team!

These people are legendary.

Really neat stuff, hopefully I'll be able to switch as soon as Thunderbolt/USB-C displays are sorted out (I primarily use my Mac with the lid closed)

I ditched MacOS for Asahi, runs well. Only issue I have is that the battery seems to drain a lot faster in sleep mode.

It does run nicely. Battery life and underperforming GPU are the only things to optimize for me to never use macOS on my M1 pro.

Definitely worth a try for anyone curious.

I’ve been dual booting it since their earlier releases and things are surprisingly smooth now.

Could you try playing games? Curious to see how they run

Been trying to get my friend into Linux, but he uses a MB. Maybe this will finally do it for him

This would have been exciting to me if it was like back in the PowerPC dying out days when my old elementary school gave away all their old macs from the computer lab and I acquired about half of them and installed Linux on them.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
