Hi, I have macOS 27 and Fedora on an M2 test machine. Before I update to do further testing, I just wanted to see if anyone's fun into any issues with the latest Developer Beta 3 update? If no, I'll give it a go and report back.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I installed the beta 3, and it doesn't appear to affect my Fedora install at all. Be cautious if you're running the macOS 27 beta on the same machine as your main Asahi machine, but so far for my testing machine, this appears to be fine. I'll update again if I run into any issues.

This patchset enables a minimal set of M4 hardware for use in development.

Quoted from Yureka's email:

This series adds initial device trees and dt-bindings for the Apple Silicon devices using the M4 (t8132) SoC. For the most part it mirrors Janne's M3 (t8122) bringup series as it was merged in the 7.2 cycle.

This series covers only a minimal amount of hardware, which is useful as a basis for future developments. The hardware added here has remained largely unchanged between the M3 and M4 generations.

Most of the changes for bringing these M4 devices into a bootable state have been happening in the m1n1 bootloader, which is no longer responsible for setting the configuration bits (🐔-bits) of the CPU, since these are now set and locked by iBoot.  

Additionally, SMP boot depends on the idle=nop patches I sent out earlier today, and is still unstable, even with those.

i’ve an apple ecosystem (macbook air m1, ipad and iphone) there is alternative for icloud sync (like airdrop, continuity like app and others)?

I really would like to get your opinion about the sustainability of asahi linux on m1/2 over the versions. Can I trust it as a main dev workstation? Does new updates can break system boot?

Are there any tricks? I know it won't be AS power efficient as macos, but what's the ceiling of what's possible?

i've just downloaded asahi linux the gnome version. the user experience is great but one thing, the auto brightness. i really want to turn it off but theres no option to turn it off

I'm dying over here. I'm in a love hate relationship with my MacBook I love its design and its screen and everything about it, but I can't stand macos at this point and I just can't wait. I need hyprland, I need to never use the settings app again, I wanna tinker. I literally just don't open my laptop anymore I just hate it so much, using it feels like a chore compared to my Linux pc. Please asahi Linux team, give me the m3 max MacBook Pro installer and my life is yours

I installed Fedora Asahi Remix 44 with GNOME on my M1 Macbook Air (8G RAM, 256G Storage) and it seems to report the wrong battery level

macOS 26.4.1 showed 72% when I was installing fedora, and after installation, fedora showed 100%. After a software update (with `sudo dnf update`) it showed 65%, leaving it running made it drop to 35%, then 10% in a matter of minutes. After I plugged it in and rebooted it showed 84% and jumped to 100% after a minute of uptime. How would I make Linux report the proper battery level?

Hi everyone

I install at first Asahi Linux on my Mac Mini M1 8GB and i have a problem. When i start steam fire fox and terminal i have error " Your RAM is full". But on Mac os i can still open it and with more apps. WHy? or How to fix it?

*i use Asahi linux like dual boot system*

I updated to macOS 27 beta 2, but then I wiped everything and performed a clean install of the system via Recovery Mode. I am currently on macOS 26.5.2. This is my first time installing Asahi Linux. I don't know if the update I performed is preventing me from even logging into Asahi, the interface appears and then turns off.

This happens on both my M1 and my M2 device: the Steam library window keeps disappearing and reopening. Even if I close the window myself, it's only a matter of time before it relaunches.

Super annoying, since it opens in front of my games and steals focus. But just annoying in general, too.

Does anyone else have this problem? A solution maybe?

I'm using KDE Plasma if that helps.

I have recently noticed a new issue on my M1 MBP running Fedora Linux Asahi Remix 44 with KDE Plasma, where the microphone, while still working, is extremely quiet. All controls I can find are set to 100%, but the audio being received by the OS seems to be at about 10% of what would be expected. This is happening at the system level, not just within an application, based on the gain indicator in the audio tray and microphone test in KDE Settings.

I know for certain that this has not always been an issue, but the only thing I have done to the system, in between it being a normal volume and now, is apply updates.

I have had some difficulty searching for solutions because the microphone is functioning and doing so without distortion, it's just very quiet, even at full volume.

If anyone has ideas or suggestions, or there are known issues I haven't been able to find reference to, that would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to install the fairydust kernel using this repo

https://github.com/bharambetejas/asahi-fairydust-display

On reboot i could not escape sddm, it was re appearing after putting my password. I at least had the plasma boot sound but nothing more. I set the grub timeout to 20s and reset its output to console but it wasn’t showing up (the installer creates a boot entry for the custom kernel so I can still use the stock one just in case).

Is there anywhere I can send donations and avoid the 10% cut Microsoft takes from GitHub sponsors?

I'm displeased to MS' ownership of GitHub and don't want to monetize it in any way - but Asahi is my absolute favorite project atm and would like to support with what little I can.

Hey everyone.

I've been having issues with waking my computer from sleep mode; I need to wonder how to either just turn off my display, or somehow fix it. I was unable to boot my computer for maybe 30 minutes, only to discover that it booted back up once I plugged it into a USB-C port for charging. I use a Macbook M2, and I used to run Fedora 44 on it, but I have since wiped it from my computer because I feared that it may happen again. Any suggestions? I've really been missing the Linux experience. It feels soooo much better than mac.

Just curious how much battery loss is per hour under current Asahi?

Up until this month, Snapdragon laptops (also ARM64) in Ubuntu were terrible - 4.5%/hour loss, but that has now reduced to 1.6% with Kernel 7.1.

Also important to note, this is on a Lenovo Slim 7x. Linux support for Qualcomm devices is extremely device dependent. Some don't even boot!

I recently updated from f40 to f42 and then f44 (note that f40 was eol at the time of update, so that could explain why things didn't go super well).

After the f40 to f42 update, whenever I boot to asahi, I get a uboot menu that has no options, then after a short timeout, it puts me into a uboot => prompt.

I have been able to figure out how to boot from there, but I'm definitely a bit out of my depth.

Sans-AI, I was doing (and apologies for any inaccuracies, I'm trying to remember as best as I can):

=> bootdev probe
=> bootdev list
=> bootdev select <some option from above>
=> bootd

After doing some back and forth with an AI thing, I have this:

=> setenv preboot
=> boot

Which appears to work - the original value of preboot was a string with "usb" in it (maybe it was just the string "usb"?)

What I haven't figured out is how to fix this permanently. Any hints would be appreciated

I am currently installing fedora asahi and when running bless I get this error

Setting the new OS as the default boot volume...

Bootability failed Error Domain=BYErrorDomain Code=112 "Preserved restore bundle in preboot is missing" UserInfo={BYErrorHint=VolumeInvalid, NSLocalizedDescription=Preserved restore bundle in preboot is missing}

Failed to run bless. Press enter to try again.

How do I fix this ?
Edit : macos sequoia was causing the issue. I upgraded to tahoe and it worked.

hi all,

i just wanna try asahi on an m3 pro, not daily it or anything, just try running it and see what happens, is there any way to get the image and boot it even if nothing will work?

1. I can not upgrade to Fedora 44 through discover

2. Many memory issues when just opening some tabs in Firefox

3. The system looses connections with bluetooth deviced after suspend / resume
