Der letzte Absatz sollte so manch Enduser zum Nachdenken anregen: Viele #OpenSource Projekte werden von Freiwilligen in deren Freizeit gestämmt. Da hat es einfach keinen Platz irgendwelche Forderungen zu stellen.

heise online · Apple M4: Veränderungen machen Asahi-Linux-Umsetzung schwerBy Ben Schwan

As I depend on them in my day-to-day while daily driving an M1 device running Gentoo, I have begun supporting @AsahiLinux monthy via OpenCollective.

If you also make use of the Asahi kernel, or are interested in seeing the project succeed, consider donating as well:

opencollective.comAsahi Linux - Open CollectiveAsahi Linux ports Linux to Apple Silicon Macs. We document the hardware, write drivers, and publish the Fedora Asahi Remix distro.

Looks like M4 support for #asahilinux is going be rather painful. We’re still focusing on upstreaming M1/M2 support but other people have been trying to bring up m1n1 on M4 and it looks like a few things changed:

When configuring a macho boot object we now get dropped into an environment where Apple’s SPTM is running in GL2 and we are supposed to talk to it from EL2 with MMU already enabled to setup pagetables. This neither works for Linux nor for running XNU under our hypervisor to reverse engineer the new hardware.

When configuring a raw boot object we’re dropped into EL2 with GL2 and most (all?) Apple specific extensions disabled. This is totally fine for Linux but we can’t run XNU under our hypervisor that we use to reverse engineer the hardware in this state. This also seems to be broken for >=15.2 right now because it probably isn’t very well tested 😕

Success!!! I've migrated Immich from an x86 Debian system to Asahi Fedora on an M1 Mac Mini.
Installing Fedora was easy
Installing Docker was easy.
Installing Tailscale was super simple.
Installing and setting up CSF was easy, but only because I had notes from last time on how to make Docker and Tailscale cooperate.

Migrating the Immich database was a nightmare!! I think because my old system was a mishmash of legacy settings from 100+ releases ago... Also, my old system wasn't on the very newest release, which in itself made migration fail initially.

Qualche anno fa sostenevo che #AsahiLinux fosse uno spreco di risorse, un (ammirevole) sforzo ingegneristico che avrebbe portato benefici quasi solo ad Apple, la quale avrebbe dovuto essere boicottata per la chiusura ostinata e l'ostruzionismo.

Continuo a sperare di sbagliarmi, ma tra persone che escono dal progetto e arretratezza dello sviluppo (ad oggi mi pare che supporti solo M1/2 e nemmeno al 100%) temo davvero che stia diventando un grande "ve l'avevo detto"

Asahi Linux adds microphone support for MacBooks with Apple Silicon

The Asahi Linux project has done a lot of work over the past few years to allow users to install and run Linux on recent Macs with Apple Silicon processors. But while most features are already working (including displays, graphics drivers, USB and wireless ports, and cameras), there are others that have long been considered works in progress including support for Thunderbolt, DisplayPort Alt […]

It's sad to see what's happening on @AsahiLinux , but the project has never made sense to me, apart from the developers having fun of doing it.

#Apple doesn't deserve that effort, it's too close of a company.

My opinion is the best the community does is not support Apple at all, and if someone wants to use Linux, let that person support a company that supports Linux somehow.

I have an #AppleSilicon #M1 and definitely my next hardware will not be Apple's anymore, I'm leaving the ecosystem to support other initiatives.

@mntmn is on my radar... I'm open to suggestions and opinions!

Thanks!
