• Apple M3 With Asahi Linux Continues Making Progress, No ETA Yet For Shipping Asahi Linux developers have published a status report following the recent Linux 6.19 kernel release to outline recent progress and upcoming items around Apple Silicon support on Linux. • This year will also mark five years that Asahi Linux has been around for bringing Linux to the Apple M-Series hardware. • Their latest progress report began by commenting that the DisplayPort Alt Mode support with USB-C – a very frequent question from users – will be “done when it’s done”. • There still is a “fairy dust” branch with their downstream code in current form but not officially supported. • With much of the workable Asahi Linux support so far being on Apple M1 / M2 hardware while Apple already being up to M5 hardware, the other common question is around newer hardware support. • As for Apple M3 hardware support their progress report notes: Asahi Linux developers have also been working to overcome the 60Hz screen limitation on MacBook Pros to allow for a 120Hz refresh rate.
