I'm still in shock how quickly they have progressed.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 1 year ago

So how does that work given that most Steam games are x86/x64 and the M2 is an ARM processor? Does it emulate an x86 CPU? Isn't that slow, given that it's an entirely different architecture, or is there some kind of secret sauce?

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago

Emulation.

Definitely going to incur a performance hit relative to native code, but in principle it could be perfectly good. It's not like the GPU is running x86 code in the first place. On macOS, Apple provides Rosetta to run x86 Mac apps, and it's very, very good. Not sure how FEX compares.

I wanna do Mesa because of Lina

The brain however does not want to cooperate (it wants to defrag)

I've always thought GOAT stands for Gentleman Of All Trades. I make a wild guess it's Girl Of All Trades in this case?

Always thought it was "Greatest of all time"

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, that's what I meant too.

The Gods be damned it can run Crysis

Fedora linux distribution for apple silicon (M series) computers

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

With added firmware/drivers for better hardware compatibility

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.

Asahi Linux is the "have linux run on apple M series CPUs" project

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

The Asahi team never fails to impress. You can support the project at their Patreon. You don't need to care about Apple hardware to see the value in the work they're doing getting ported over to ARM PCs. Who knows? You might be donating to the health of your preferred distro on a device you will own down the road.

BUT CAN IT RUN CRYSIS

Yes it can

Btw the "official COPR" for krun on Fedora seems unmaintained, but there is a new one with recent builds.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
