Comment on Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice (2022)

Comments

Asahi Linux totally has graphics acceleration on M1 and M2.

What about Thunderbolt or DisplayPort alt mode?

IIRC, those are not supported as of now.

I have been running Asahi on my M2 MacBook Air for the last ~9 months or so and actually really enjoy it. Showed me the world of aarch64. Battery life could be better but normal low level power usage ranges in the 6 to 7 hour mark. But nothing close to official Apple battery usage.
