foxmean<p>อินจัดๆ <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/asahilinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahilinux</span></a> เป็นโครงการที่เฝ้าดูมาตั้งแต่ซื้อเครื่องมาใหม่ๆ เกือบครึ่งทศวรรษแล้ว เดินทางมาถึงจุดที่มีคนใช้งานได้จริงๆ แล้วก็ปลื้มใจจนอยากสนับสนุนบ้าง ช่วงนี้จ่ายค่าเช้าให้ big tech เสียเยอะ แบ่งมาจ่ายให้ซอฟต์แวร์เสรีบ้าง สมัยก่อนเคยจ่ายอะไรเหล่านี้ทั้งๆ ที่ยังหาเงินเองไม่ได้เลย ตอนนี้คงต้องกลับมาพิจารณาช่วยจ่ายค่าเหล่านี้บ้าง</p>
Anisse<p>So, let's start with the most obvious, the performance cores; they make the most sense for a CPU-intensive task; on my systems those are CPU 4-7. We can see here that the promise of the Trifecta Foundation holds, as the rust implementation is about 4% faster. 4/N</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bzip2</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RustLang</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AsahiLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsahiLinux</span></a></p>
Anisse<p>I'll do benchmarks using my own <code>bzcat</code> and comparing that with bzip2's original <code>bzcat</code>. All running on an M1 laptop running Linux. The M1 CPU has both performance and efficiency cores. We'll run the benchmark on both, using <code>hyperfine</code> to do the comparisons. 3/N</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bzip2</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AsahiLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsahiLinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/hyperfine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hyperfine</span></a></p>
Sven Peter<p>SMC made it just in time for the merge window! Now it's finally possible to reboot M1/M2 with an upstream kernel ;)</p><p>This also allows to enable the power gpios for e.g. wifi and allows us to upstream drivers for the power button, hardware sensors, battery status and RTC next. </p><p><a href="https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/175334693659.1935861.13683239351116261977.b4-ty@kernel.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lore.kernel.org/asahi/17533469</span><span class="invisible">3659.1935861.13683239351116261977.b4-ty@kernel.org/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/asahilinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahilinux</span></a></p>

Ewen Bell 📸<p>Regular reminder for anyone who might have an Apple Silicon based Mac that Asahi Linux is a thing and a good thing. It's not just Intel Macs that can play nice with Linux.</p><p>I love my little M1 Macbook Air. It's great hardware and never gets overheated. But sometimes I need to play with Linux instead of MacOS.</p><p>Asahi installation was able to hive off a small partition during setup to dual-boot. It's very smooth and makes for a great desktop. I've got Firefox and LibreOffice and even Proton VPN running nice. It's ready for prime time.</p><p>Am sending this toot from Asahi Linux right now :)</p><p><a href="https://asahilinux.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://asahilinux.org/</a></p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/asahilinux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AsahiLinux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/linuxonmac" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxOnMac</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/applesilicon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleSilicon</a></p>

James Calligeros<p>So today I bought a 9070 XT and reassembled my amd64 PC, which I retired a couple of years ago, because I really, _really_ want to play video games again without worrying about FEX or Rosetta.</p><p>So far, I have had 3 kernel oopses of various provenance. Haven't had one kernel oops on any of my Macs unless I was hacking on stuff.</p><p>The graphics card by itself sucks down over 30 W just sitting at the desktop. My entire Mac Studio idles at less than 5 W.</p><p>The fans will not shut the fuck up no matter what I do. The Mac Studio fans are never audible, even at full system utilisation.</p><p>The motherboard's DMI information is straight up just wrong, and the SuperIO chip has no hwmon driver. The Mac Studio's Devicetree is (obviously) correct, and the SMC hwmon driver works well.</p><p>The CPU pulls about 50% more power than my Mac Studio while being noticeably slower. </p><p>The motherboard's builtin audio interface is unusably bad compared even to my MacBook Air's headphone jack.</p><p>The only parts of this experience that are objectively better than using a Mac with Asahi are gaming performance (no shit, there's no emulation of history's worst instruction set involved), monitor support, which is something we're actively working on anyway, and boot time although it's close.</p><p>The whole PC ecosystem is, unbelievably, even more totally ratfucked than it was when I last abandoned it. For the money I've spent today to get back into the PC, I could've bought two whole Mac minis with change left over, or a new audio interface and calibration mic to retune some of Mac speakers that need it.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/asahi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahi</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/asahilinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahilinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PC</span></a></p>

Photo Ewen 📷<p>Asahi Linux uses DNF. It&#39;s essentially Fedora with the extra trimmings to make it Apple Silicon friendly.</p><p>Managed to install ProtonVPN after translating their cryptic instructions. Their CLI example didn&#39;t work for Asahi but pretending you have Fedora gets it over the hurdle.</p><p>Now just need to convince UpNote that Linux also runs on non-Intel hardware.</p><p><a href="https://photog.social/tags/AsahiLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AsahiLinux</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/LinuxOnMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>LinuxOnMac</span></a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Upnote" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Upnote</span></a></p>
Photo Ewen 📷<p>Asahi Linux is working very nicely on my little M1 MacBook Air. I wanted a clean environment that I could trust as secure.</p><p>Maybe I&#39;ll be inspired to spend a little more time writing code, updating the website, and tinkering with some FOSS.</p><p>It&#39;s very fast. Very clean.

Luigi311<p>For my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mobilelinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mobilelinux</span></a> peeps here are instructions on setting up widevine L3 so you can atleast access some DRM content.

Sven Peter<p>Looks like M4 support for <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/asahilinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahilinux</span></a> 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:</p><p>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.</p><p>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 &gt;=15.2 right now because it probably isn’t very well tested 😕</p>

Mika<p>The cool thing I always find with reading up on <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/AsahiLinux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AsahiLinux</a>'s progress reports is the often, "elegant" solutions required/implemented by <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Apple" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> for their hardware (despite the jankiness of <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/macOS" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#macOS</a>, honestly), and the Asahi Linux team reverse engineering and reimplementing it, bringing some of that "elegance" and brilliantly engineered/designed solutions over to <a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a><span> (perhaps in a better way, working with retrospect and all).<br><br>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 </span><a href="https://sakurajima.social/tags/Rust" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rust</a><span> is becoming increasingly more present in the Linux kernel which as I've grown to understand is a very important "fight".<br><br>Heck, this project has even brought to light some of the </span><i>nasty</i> parts of the Linux (development) community that a lot of users wouldn't have known about otherwise, which <b>critically</b><span> needs fixing.<br><br></span>🔗 <a href="https://asahilinux.org/2025/03/progress-report-6-14" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://asahilinux.org/2025/03/progress-report-6-14</a></p>
