Announced in early August and initially planned for the end of the month, the Fedora Asahi Remix distribution is finally here for those who want to install the Fedora Linux operating system on their Apple Silicon Macs.
The distro is based on the latest Fedora Linux 39 release and ships with the KDE Plasma 5.27 LTS desktop environment by default, using Wayland.
This is great!! I use macOS for work but I’m sure I can get 90% of the work done on Linux now! Just wondering about GPU perfomance? Video editing is crazy fast on macOS, anyone tried on Asahi?
I know that they only recently got opengl support and it was pretty primitive so I would imagine they have some work to do on the GPU side
They have full vulkan now too, but it’s not quite mature enough to be enabled by default rn (afaik)
If they can get full vulkan, maybe Zink can take care of the rest
