Asahi Lina is truly an inspiration for open source reverse engineering. For those not aware, they also live stream their coding sessions quite often: https://www.youtube.com/@AsahiLina

I'm excited for the day that I can easily install SteamOS (the modern one that runs on the Steamdeck) on an M2 Mac mini for an insanely powered "Steam console" for my living room TV.

I wonder how long it's going to take for games to start generally supporting ARM. Getting Linux running well on M1/M2/etc.. seems like only half the battle for making a good gaming machine out of these.

16k pages is going to make everything hard, I'm not holding my breath.

I think the Asahi project will release a 4k kernel version for those really need/want it at some point. As I understand there are no technical barriers, they're just delaying it to push more projects into supporting the 16k mode (which has better perf).

I believe 4k pages works with Asahi Linux today. However the CPU can do 4k and 16k pages, the GPU is 16k pages only. So you give up accelerated 3D to run 4k pages.

Looks like 4k support has just been added to the GPU driver https://twitter.com/LinaAsahi

Nice, I was right ... up to yesterday. Now it's fixed. Things are moving quickly.
