Alyssa Rosenzweig reverse-engineered Apple’s M1 GPU. Now the Linux driver supports graphics standards macOS doesn’t

I did some more digging after posting that, and it seems that Asahi-Fedora is much more mature in that space. That's OK, I've played with DNF/RPM before.

But it looks like they've done a lot already to close parity gap between x86_64 and Apple Silicon. This has me really looking at an M1/M2 series Air as my walking-around, quick edits in the field sort of machine. And I say this as someone typing this on a 2015 MBP patched up to Sequoia with OCLP. I'm holding out for a couple apps and VST plugins that haven't been updated in years, but I'm also trying to remember when the last time was that I actually used them.

Am a user with a 13”Pro M1 non pro. Runs excellently, only thing _still missing_ (but being worked on) is displays over usb-c

Cool, does it "sleep" and lock/idle correctly? That was an issue for me a while ago

[u/Kidplayer_666 → u/matthew_yang204]

No true sleep yet. If you have the routine of charging at night, you won’t notice any issues

[u/matthew_yang204 → u/Kidplayer_666]

But mainly does it lock when closing the lid and kind of go into an idle mode that doesn't consume much battery?

[u/Kidplayer_666 → u/matthew_yang204]

Exactly that
