> I wonder if the Asahi team is considering simply abandoning linux in favor of something more rust friendly
The entire point of Asahi is to run Linux on macOS (edit: on Mac hardware, not macOS). If they did what you’re suggesting it would be a completely different project.
Well, I wonder if this is a good time for people to reconsider what they actually want out of Asahi. Things that I'm sure are on the list are open source, able to run the tools they want (standard gnu userland?), docker, maybe gnome/kde? I am not convinced that the linux kernel specifically is on that list.
Tons of dev workflows nowadays use docker which in practice means they require Linux.
Docker works fine on macOS today. But it was definitely bad before they fixed the host file system integration. And by bad, I mean really bad.
At this point, it’s really about what trade-off you’re willing to make. Do you want a better graphical interface or better docker integration?
