Asahi Linux

About

Asahi Linux is a free and open-source project and community established around 2020, with the ambitious goal of porting a fully functional Linux operating system to Apple Silicon Macs, beginning with the 2020 M1 Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models. This community-driven initiative, accessible via its website asahilinux.org and GitHub, provides robust Apple Silicon support, including critical GPU Acceleration, and has achieved significant technical milestones such as OpenGL 4.6 and OpenGL ES 3.2 conformance. It uniquely enables preliminary AAA gaming on Apple Silicon Macs through x86 emulation. Operating on both Mac and Linux platforms, Asahi Linux fosters user engagement by allowing suggestions and votes on new features. Key developments include the release of tailored distributions like Fedora Asahi Remix 41 and 39, which enhance the Linux experience on Apple Silicon hardware, positioning Asahi Linux as a leading effort in making Linux accessible and performant on Apple's ARM-based systems.
