    Reverse-engineering Apple's custom silicon is basically the modern equivalent of repairing a spaceship while it's actively launching. Incredible work by the Asahi team!

    Why Apple does not at least provide the specs to the community? So much wasted effort when they can just share a pdf.

    Lack of sleep and HDMI support is real roadblock for adoption. Hope they gets past soon.

    I am wondering how much the spec changes per M-chip iteration? I think that after some iterations, the spec stays the same, no?

    This is really incredible work but so frustrating that its necessary

    I'm not sure I understand the target user for Asahi.Is this someone that only wants to run Linux and wants to use their GPU on Linux? Seems like this is not the case, yet.Or, is this for someone that wants to dual boot and use Linux sometimes, and then reboot into MacOS when they want to use the GPU?

    Some big caveats but still amazing progress!

    Does USB work already or is that a 2027 item?

    Let me know when we get M4 support.

    This is great news.Hoping for M4 to the latest chip.We need Ashai to support more chips.

    Still no thunderbolt support.

    I thought development officially ended?
