Asahi Linux founder Hector Martin resigns over kernel conflict, community putting too much pressure on him, burnout:
ostechnix.com/asahi-linux-foun
(Unfortunately this toxicity is pretty common nowadays in the Linux and FOSS community. All this political nonsense (making projects overly political, and on the on the other hand, abusing devs because of their political opinion), users taking things for granted, don't appreciating devs' hard work (don't forget that the vast majority of them do it in their spare time!), saying that this and that software sucks and nobody should use them (like many (or a few loud?) KDE users do with GNOME, or Arch fanboys with other distros) just because they personally don't like those software (if you're not one of them, cheers to you, otherwise please try to think with the head of the GNOME, Debian etc. devs, how do they feel when they see such toxicity). And no, I don't say that criticism shouldn't be expressed, but it should be constructive, and not like "this software sucks arse because only that other software satisfies my needs" or "these woke/Nazi devs should frick off")
(The Linux kernel project is a dumpsterfire these days, with C vs Rust wars and other nonsense, that doesn't help either)

Linux kernel 6.14 RC2 available with KVM improvements, file system updates, networking fixes, graphics (DRM) fixes, changes in Apple Silicon kernel maintenance:

Mind you: I’m not looking for immediate use of Linux on my Mac Mini. It will be a primary macOS desktop for some years, I’m sure. I’m, mostly, thinking about when I find it time to upgrade and I want to push it down as my new homelab server. It runs circles around my minisforum in performance and power efficiency, but that’s a years in the future thing.

No support for M4 from Asahi, yet. Which is super understandable, given the M4 is barely out. I’m hoping the M4 is, mostly, an iterative improvement on M3 so the work towards M3 translates to progress on M4.

Will have to keep an eye on this. Will be interesting to watch the progress. But, for now, will have to, patiently, wait.
