Prominent Asahi Linux developer Sven Peter spoke at this week’s 39th Chaos Communication Congress “39C3” in Hamburg, Germany. He provided an update around the still-in-the-works Apple M3 / M4 / M5 SoC and device support as well as other outstanding features like getting DisplayPort working on Apple Macs under Linux.

Sven covered the many patches they upstreamed this year from the Asahi Linux project to the mainline Linux kernel, many of which were covered on Phoronix. There was USB3 support, System Management Controller (SMC), SPMI, audio, and other bits that made it to mainline namely for the Apple M1 / M2 hardware.
