    How well does this work?

    I daily drive it on a MacBook M1 Air, and it works decently for what I do with it with very rare compatibility issues, which is mostly programming, messaging, and web usage. Performance is much better than macOS, but battery life is worse.

    Still missing some basic hardware features such as USB-HDMI (which I don’t need since I use Niri) and for some reason playing audio uses a lot of CPU, so not sure if I didn’t set something up correctly or if it is an Asahi Linux problem.

    I think it also supports x86_64 emulation (demonstrated with Steam), but I’ve never tried it. Or maybe they were just demonstrating the GPU driver implementations.
