Works nice aside from the lack of USB-C monitor (mine has a HDMI output so not a huge deal for me.) blt 17 hours ago 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. ErneX 19 hours ago Not the M5. adityamwagh 19 hours ago It eventually will. But OP never asked about M5 specifically. tredre3 18 hours 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. hmry 18 hours ago 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). benoau 18 hours ago Eventually in this context might be 4+ years from now.
