Fedora Asahi Remix: bringing Fedora to Apple Silicon Macs (Flock To Fedora 2023) Our new flagship distro: Fedora Asahi Remix — We’re still working out the kinks and making things even better, so we are not quite ready to call this a release yet. We aim to officially release the Fedora Asahi Remix by the end of August 2023. Look forward to many new features, machine support, and more! Hector Martin: “Okay, I’m going to be honest…” — I apologize to all Asahi Linux users. You deserve better. When I chose Arch Linux ARM as a base I didn't realize it would have so many basic QA issues. Coming soon: Fedora for Apple Silicon Macs! (Fedora Discourse) The first conformant M1 GPU driver — Our reverse-engineered, free and open source graphics drivers are the world’s only conformant OpenGL ES 3.1 implementation for M1- and M2-family graphics hardware. That means our driver passed tens of thousands of tests to demonstrate correctness and is now recognized by the industry. Asahi Linux’s Apple M1/M2 Gallium3D Driver Now OpenGL ES 3.1 Conformant — It's even more rewarding for the community developers in that Apple doesn't provide any conformant (OpenGL or Vulkan) graphics drivers for their Arm-based platform.
