What is the status on #firmware updates for #arm #Snapdragon Laptops?
Can they be updated with #fwupd, or do you need a Windows dualboot?
On #AsahiLinux you need a #MacOS partition to update the firmware. But the Snapdragon laptop firmware might be more open? Are there differences between manifacturers, like #Lenovo supporting fwupd normally?
Does anyone have #multiviewer running on #asahilinux yet?
I want to watch some #F1 tonight… I guess I need to finally check out #muvm
N'attendez pas Linux sur les M4 de sitôt : c'est visiblement douloureusement compliqué http://dlvr.it/TJyLwQ #Linux #AsahiLinux
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
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 prend en charge le microphone des Mac portable, et ça a été compliqué http://dlvr.it/TJk0X9 #AsahiLinux #Mac
if i were to get the muvm and FEX stack to work on my laptop that'd be great! because then i Could emulate x86_64 and even non-musl x86_64 AND windows
but yeah, thats a bigger ask for me
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!
Fedora Asahi Remix 42 Beta Released: Run Linux on Apple Silicon Macs #FedoraAsahiRemix42Beta #AsahiLinux #Fedora42 #Linux #AppleSiliconMacs #Opensource #Releases

The cool thing I always find with reading up on #AsahiLinux's progress reports is the often, "elegant" solutions required/implemented by #Apple for their hardware (despite the jankiness of #macOS, honestly), and the Asahi Linux team reverse engineering and reimplementing it, bringing some of that "elegance" and brilliantly engineered/designed solutions over to #Linux (perhaps in a better way, working with retrospect and all).
Honestly this project is a win-win for a lot of parties - again, the (incredibly talented) Asahi team is able to replicate/reiterate on some of these brilliant designs Apple's done and bring them to Linux, both Apple and Linux itself have been receiving important reports of some well hidden bugs found by the Asahi team throughout their development, and #Rust is becoming increasingly more present in the Linux kernel which as I've grown to understand is a very important "fight".
Heck, this project has even brought to light some of the nasty parts of the Linux (development) community that a lot of users wouldn't have known about otherwise, which critically needs fixing. https://asahilinux.org/2025/03/progress-report-6-14
second problem: #AsahiLinux doesn't support HDMI/DisplayPort through USB-C _yet_
can't wait until its added so I can have my multiscreen setup back again :)
and just like that: i'm posting from my new #Linux / #AsahiLinux laptop :)
i no longer have access to my sparkle emoji shortcut, i need to fix that ASAP lol
nerve wracking, had to manually load the wifi firmware but it worked! apk can now download packages:) time to setup my system #AsahiLinux
alright that's it: i'm switching to #AsahiLinux
really looking at switching to #AsahiLinux sometime soon
everyone that is and was on the project are just so talented and seeing the work that they're doing is so cool
it might turn my macbook m1 pro into my forever computer!
