Would be super interested if any person on this planet uses this as the main driver.

jazzyjackson2mo ago

Yes its much less annoying than macos on my m1 macbook.

gedy2mo ago

I do, for work at least. Works nice aside from the lack of USB-C monitor (mine has a HDMI output so not a huge deal for me.)

In the dev branch now! https://asahilinux.org/2026/02/progress-report-6-19/

I will attempt to use Asahi as my daily driver once this is officially released.

Retr0id2mo ago

I do.

Not the M5.

adityamwaghOP2mo ago

It eventually will. But OP never asked about M5 specifically.

tredre32mo ago

No, but OP was comparing the pricing of brand new laptops, so it was implied that they wouldn't be M1/M2 hence not supported by Asahi.

benoau2mo ago

Eventually in this context might be 4+ years from now.

AFAIK Asahi development needs some hypervisor features for reverse engineering macOS drivers that only exist on M1-M3 and were removed on M4+. So yeah, it may be several years until they get support (or never, if nobody steps up to do it).
