FOSS Roundup #7 – M1, Gaming, Docs, and More!
This week’s roundup features the first alpha release of Asahi Linux, Microsoft looking to bring more games to the Steam Deck, and more!
Asahi Linux
Asahi Linux is a project that ports the Linux kernel and related software to Apple silicon-powered Macs. The software design project was started and is led by Hector Martin. Work began in early 2021, a few months after Apple formally announced the transition to Apple silicon. An initial alpha release followed in 2022. The project has been made challenging by the lack of publicly available documentation of Apple’s proprietary firmware.
