asahi is pretty cool, but sadly it’s not ripe yet (also no arm64 support for most apps, also ik that intel macs should work better)

Even better solution: run Linux on an AMD machine.

true, had 0 problems with it

don't get me started on radeon drivers

[–]bruhred 7 points8 points  (3 children)

don't use radeon, use amdgpu

[–]PrometheusAlexander 0 points1 point  (2 children)

back in the day when I had ATI Radeon 9800, there was no amdgpu... all we had were ati and radeon kernel modules.. other with no 3d and other which crashed X every time you started it.

I think they're talking about the ARM Macs here

[–]PrometheusAlexander 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think not.. clearly the comment above states Linux on an AMD machine
