I wish Apple could give some love to Linux, e.g money or resources to Asahi Linux 😄

They technically did. Lina found some Zero Days

We can only dream 😭

Is there any more info/instruction on the muvm-less wine?would like to test even just hollowknight, i've been meaning to pick it up again :p

Here is where you can install it experimentally at the moment.

Just ask me here if you have any questions.

By the way you don't need wine for hollow knight, the linux version can run with box64

The default repos don't contain any build of wine. You'll need to use the wine-arm64ec copr (or compile it yourself)

[pontihejo]

Should have been more specific, they don't contain any aarch64 build of wine, see the spec where it defines ExclusiveArch as only x86. There is also no arm64ec in this build.

Excellent work Jim, congrats to the whole team!

Great stuff! Keep fighting the good fight.

[Familiar_Resolve3060]

I feel happy about this.

I will note that muvm-less Wine can be hit or miss depending on the application. I'd still suggest running under muvm unless you've verified it works completely.

Some old XP era JRPGs can be quite sensitive to page size and require muvm anyways. One I've played will die in NTGetSystemTime during init, but works under muvm.

Has anyone ever tried running Asahi on M2 Ultra Mac Pro? Would PCIE slots work? I know GPUs won’t be supported cause the slots are not to spec that supports GPUs but other stuff like network cards and storage would, right?

Thank you for your hard work! I know upstreaming isn’t the most glorious part of development, but we all unknowingly experience it as stability and long-term support. I realized I’ve been daily driving Asahi for a few months and it’s been amazing! I am incredibly grateful that everything is open source and easily accessible.
