I have no idea what asahi linux is and at that point I am to afraid to ask

Fedora linux distribution for apple silicon (M series) computers

With added firmware/drivers for better hardware compatibility

Yeah, I think my comment really undersold the work that the Asahi team has been doing

Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.

If you're thinking what I'm thinking, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with beer.

Isn't it cause its the handle of the main dev?

No, lead dev is marcan. Asahi Lina is a vtuber who had reverse-engineered Apple GPU and wrote the driver for it (in tandem with Alyssa Rosenzweig)

They are both on Mastodon. Lina just posted an updated list of games, there's a ton of them

Linux distro for apple ARM devices with reverse engineered drivers.
