I cannot imagine how difficult and rewarding the work doing this must be. I wish I was a good enough programmer to get involved.
I feel like I’m a decent programmer but stuff like this just feels like magic to me. Huge respect to the people who work on this kind of stuff.
Betcha the docs suck and you can make them better.
Actually they’ve been cleaned a bit recently. More hands the better though
Asahi Linux folks, impressive again
Maybe someday it’ll be “You want to game on Apple hardware? Use Linux”.
As soon as they can make multiple displays work over a single USB-C I may be able to ditch the double dongle nightmare I have right now
I think that that is a hardware limitation, not a software one
It’s not. It’s 100% a MacOS limitation, because you can use MST on Windows to drive multiple displays on Mac hardware, the same is likely possible with Asahi Linux if they want to support it. Apple doesn’t want to use MST because they want you to buy into their Thunderbolt displays for extra monitors, or you can just use DisplayLink if you’re desperate like me.
Now we just need Apple M* hardware that can be bought like a regular laptop or PC parts, but that’s never happening sadly.
I wonder what in the Arm world compares GPU-wise with what Apple is doing…
Nvidia has Arm drivers for their GPUs, not sure about AMD. It should be possible to build an Arm laptop with a dedicated GPU.
Edit: BTW there are already Arm PCs you can buy which have PCIe, and can use (at least Nvidia) desktop GPUs.
Nvidia and Linux tho? Not too hopeful about driver quality lol
Wait really? I can build an ATX Arm system? I’m a SBC whore but I never even considered a full desktop build…
You can even get RISC-V ITX boards now.

I thought Apple didn’t support OpenGL at all.
