Just in time! My M2 Air arrives in two weeks. My last Air has lasted ten years and will now become a pure GNU/Linux machine, since Catalina support is ending.

Thanks to Apple for the great new machine and for supporting this!

And X-plane 12 will run natively!!

I'm curious; what contributions to the Asahi project did Apple make?

I think, largely by not locking them out of the platform.
