Just to make sure that people understand the clarification correctly: This is about upstreaming the work by Asahi Linux team. In particular, Linux on Apple Silicon macs is quite usable already if you use their own Arch-based distribution which includes yet-to-be-upstreamed patches. I run it on my M1 Air and the only major (to me) things with no support yet are the builtin speakers (afaik support is coming soon) and the webcam.

Ditto here - I run Asahi on my Mac Studio, and all features I require work perfectly (HDMI, GPU driver, Bluetooth, sound, 10G networking, WiFi, etc.): http://triosdevelopers.com/jason.eckert/stuff/AsahiSwayM1Ult...

Do you know if hidpi and fractional scaling work well in gnome? I do admit your sway setup looks pretty slick. Share your dots :)

Sound?

Do you mean sound over Bluetooth?

Funny that they didn't mention it! Seems like an obvious thing for them to plug their own distribution.

They tend to be very cautious about advertising it as usable vs in testing itself. E.g. GPU acceleration is an opt in to the edge packages of Asahi, which they consider at alpha stage itself. Even with that approach there is still a surprising number of users that join IRC confused it's not further along, largely because there is a huge variance in what one considers usable.

on my m2 power levels and sleep don't work right : if i close the lid, it heats up and smells like model airplane glue, and that's super annoying. if i leave the lid open, or just power down, it's fine.

They don’t have support for putting the cpu to sleep yet. A recent update switches it to its lowest frequency when the lid is closed but it’s still not off like with macOS. It sounds like they are pretty close to having it sorted though.
