The Asahi Linux developers involved with working on Linux support for Apple Silicon M-Series devices have put out a new progress report on their development efforts.
Asahi Linux developers have kept working on new kernel patches and some being upstreamed for Linux 6.17 and 6.18 cycles, as previously covered on Phoronix. Notably with Linux 6.18 is the Device Trees for the Apple M2 Pro / Max / Ultra devices albeit more driver code is still working its way upstream.
If you run Asahi Linux of course you could reboot - what you’re linking is that the functionality got mainlined.
I run Asahi on an M1 Macbook Pro and the only functionality I’ve ever found missing is USB-C video out. It works so well otherwise that I completely forgot it isn’t there and sat together with a customer not understanding why I couldn’t get a picture up on their presentation screen.
Also actually being able to go to sleep mode. Currently it’s more or less just the screen going off, the battery still drains like crazy in a few hours. Another basic feature not working.
Pretty basic feature to miss.
How about you implement it?
No, absolutely not. Apple is anti Linux. Giving them money over manufacturers with actual Linux support is the completely wrong. AMD is the way to go.
I bought the M1 specifically since it’s aarch64. You do your x86_64, I needed native arm for my IoT hacking job ;)

AMD profits from Israeli colonialism, so giving them money is crossing a picket line.
Basic to you perhaps - but not to me :) I’ll do just fine without.
