M3 上的 Asahi Linux
Asahi Linux on M3

Asahi Linux 已正式在其安装程序中加入了对 M3 系列 Mac 的支持。目前大多数功能(包括 Wi-Fi、蓝牙、摄像头和硬件加速视频解码)均已可用,体验与 M1 和 M2 设备相当。 目前,该支持仅限于安装程序的“专家”模式(可通过 `curl -L https://alx.sh/ | EXPERT=1 sh` 访问)。开发团队计划在 Fedora Linux 45 测试版发布前取消这一限制。 用户需注意以下局限性: * **缺失功能:** 由于针对显示控制器处理器(DCP)的开发工作仍在进行中,目前尚不支持完整的 GPU 加速、睡眠模式和 HDMI 输出。 * **硬件兼容性:** 虽然 M3、M3 Pro 和 M3 Max 芯片已获支持,但 M3 Ultra(Mac Studio)尚不兼容。 这一里程碑是社区赞助商多年资助开发工作的成果。团队欢迎用户测试这项新支持,并期待在未来几个月内带来更多改进。

关于 Apple M3 芯片上运行 Asahi Linux 的 Hacker News 讨论显示,社区意见存在分歧:一方认为苹果应支持开源事业,另一方则视苹果的“围墙花园”为核心商业策略。 参与者指出,Asahi Linux 面临着在缺乏官方文档的情况下对苹果芯片进行逆向工程这一艰巨任务。虽然一些用户认为苹果应当提供技术规范,并将其比作“维修权”问题,但另一些人则认为,为竞争对手提供便利在经济上对苹果而言是不合理的。他们认为,苹果软硬件的高度整合是其核心价值所在,提供文档无法带来任何经济回报。 讨论也触及了实际应用中的挑战:用户青睐 Linux 是看重其稳定性和服务器端的效率,但缺乏完整的 GPU 加速和睡眠/电源管理等功能,限制了其作为日常使用系统的能力。最后,尽管有人担心苹果最终会封杀此类项目,但也有人指出,苹果至今仍出人意料地保留了对第三方引导加载程序的支持,这表明对于具备相关技术能力的专业用户而言,苹果的“围墙花园”或许并非完全排斥替代操作系统。

It’s been a while since we did a blog post outside of the progress reports, and today’s as good an occasion for one as any; support for M3 series machines has now been merged into the installer. In other words, Asahi Linux now officially supports Macs with an M3 series SoC!

Linux support for M3 series SoCs and the machines powered by them is now in a state where almost everything supported on the M1 and M2 series machines just works. This includes the webcam, internal microphones, USB (up to the hardware limit of USB 3 10 Gb/s), hardware accelerated video decoding including support for AV1, WiFi, Bluetooth, and much more! The only major exceptions remain full DCP support and the GPU, which we will have more news on in the coming months. Do not expect performant or power-efficient 3D acceleration right now.

Given that a lot of this work is fresh, support is gated behind the installer’s Expert mode. Users who wish to give Asahi Linux a try on an M3 series machine can do so by running

curl -L https://alx.sh/ | EXPERT=1 sh

in a macOS terminal and following the prompts. Please remember to do a system upgrade (dnf upgrade --refresh) after you have finished installing. We are aiming to drop the Expert requirement in time for the release of the Fedora Linux 45 beta in a couple of weeks, barring any major regressions or other showstopping issues.

There are some known limitations to be aware of, however:

  • Sleep currently does not work due to limitations with the firmware-provided framebuffer. This will be addressed once full DCP support is wired up for M3.
  • Similarly, the lack of DCP support means that the HDMI port on equipped MacBooks is currently disabled.
  • Although MacBooks and iMacs are supported (M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max), the Mac Studio (M3 Ultra) is not yet supported.

As always, we would like to thank our generous supporters on both OpenCollective and GitHub Sponsors. Support for M3 is the culmination of years of hard work from multiple people, many of whom have only been able to access M3 hardware because of your support.

We are looking forward to hearing all your feedback, and hope you enjoy using Asahi Linux on your M3 devices just as much as we have enjoyed bringing it to you. Stay tuned for more updates and happy computing!
