By
elisaado
An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
After nearly three years of Linux 6.x kernels, Linux 7.0 has been released, and the Asahi Linux project provides a progress report on porting Linux to Apple Silicon Macs. The report details updates to the Asahi Installer, which took two years to update due to its complex architecture (Python-based with Bash bootstrap scripts). The project continues its work on bringing full Linux support to Apple's M-series hardware.
