Its a shame there isn't more goodwill for some companies to bankroll a project like asahi linux. Keeping up with reverse engineering apple silicon seems like a very large task.


My hope is they can extend support for the A chips as Asahi Fedora has been splendid for my M1 Pro


asahi is great and i hope they keep going but i can't help but wonder why apple appears to be fully singular in their arm dominance

I have to imagine that a big part of it is the company can plan and act as a single unit. The teams building the CPU, the computers which house that CPU, and the operating system and software that'll run on those computers are all working together, and can plan new features which cut across those boundaries. Other ARM CPU/system manufacturers don't have that advantage.
