Many are impressed by the progress made by a small team of developers.
I’m in absolute awe that a handful of motivated people can crack these problems
The prospect of AVD driver support is also generating excitement.
It is exciting that they are working on AVD driver.
However, some users are skeptical about the long-term viability of Asahi Linux as a Fedora remix.
Will this forever exist as a Fedora ‘remix’. Or will we find the support in upstream so I can one day run Debian-based distro?
Others are wondering about the development and continuous integration process.
I wonder what the dev/CI process looks like on this.
Some are even calling for Apple to invest in Asahi Linux.
It is baffling to me that Apple… doesn’t throw 2 or 3 of their thousands of FTEs on this.
