Oh man I thought they have achieved Vulkan/Proton.
Yeah clickbait alarm
they will, eventually
they’re close
@@Pregidth typical andrew behavior
Asahi is a small team. Please support them!
This is amazing.
I’m considering signing up to the Patreon to support this project. This could be huge for the future of Mac gaming and extend the number of options for all Mac users in how we use our machines. ❤🎉
Being myself Apple I'm also going to go to spend some bilions in stock quotes exchanges with this channel...
I was thinking the same! Asahi team 100% deserves more support to deliver even better linux performance!
You will need to create a list of Linux compatible games on MAC M1 next!
Thank you for covering my favorite FOSS project! You actually don't need 80 GB to run Asahi, you can even get away with 15-20. Maybe mention it in the description or in a pinned comment?
Great job. Hopefully you'll deepen your knowledge of Linux so as to be able to keep us uptodate about Linux on Apple silicon
Two thoughts:
1. I was a Windows users since 95 up until 2020 when I switched to Mac. After converting I fell in love with Mac's hardware build and MacOS itself. However I am a gamer so I don't have complete support for everything I would like to play. I do have far more than enough to play and keep me entertained, but there are some games on my want to play tier list that are higher up than the games available to me on Mac. If down the road these developments allow me to have roughly the same experience/library as Steam Deck, I would but near 100% satisfaction.
2. If Asahi could ever somehow make its way to hacked iOS devices, and Linux on Apple Silicon get parity with Steam OS on x86, an iPad or iPhone Pro Max would be the ultimate Steam Deck. A base M3 outperforms the x86 handhelds in GPU, its silent, and the battery life is on another level. I already have a telescoping controller that fits on an 11 inch iPad Pro (though I think the iPad Mini would be the perfect size for this).
As for 2, you might want to keep an eye on the postmarketOS community. Most of the work currently happens for certain ex-Android devices, but there has already been some interest in supporting the checkm8 iDevices.
I mean you actually can run old versions of Android on old versions of iOS, so maybe?
I read it as "I was a windows 95 user for 20 years"
Thanks for featuring our work again.. it took a long time but it's getting there
ugghh never thought I'd be back here
12:55 While the fps is higher I would argue that linux version is running better than macos - you can clearly see that there are still issues with frame pacing that result in periodic micro stutter. If possible it would be great if you could include 1% and 0.1% low fps values in your videos and analysis - it would provide a clearer look on the performance.
Linux has been outperforming *_clean windows installs_* on equal hardware for months now. (Reminder : windows is fast for the first week after installation only)
@@felixjohnson3874 Yeah I agree that nowadays linux thanks to less bloated software can be faster, but right now while asahi linux drivers look promising, they still are still lacking compared to the macos ones.
It would be best for us - the viewers, to know that from a video Right now I think that Andrew sugar coats the performance too much - which causes our expectations to be higher than they should really be.
@krystiano.610 on Asahi I can't say, no real interest in using Mac hardware myself, my point was just to legitimize that Linux very likely can do things better on the same hardware because it already has on different hardware.
its normal these kind of youtuber to always sugar coats the video title as some sort of click baits. simple for me, just dislike the video and move on.
Steamvr on Apple Silicon Macs with something like this would be fantastic.
Exactly this!!!
Kudos to Asahi Linux team! Cheers!
Hi Andy, another awesome video. Have you ever tried Supreme Commander on an M1 using Crossover? When trying to play with FAF using Parallels and ARM Windows, lots of game details are lost, e.g. I can’t see any of the rendering for missles when they are fired etc. best.
Can you test Doom 2016 OpenGl 4.5 version? How does that work with Asahi Linux?
Great work! Is it at all possible for them to port the drivers to Mac OS? I love Linux, but usually use Mac OS for work. It'd be nice to not have to dual boot to play games in Proton (in the future, when it works)
Was wondering the same thing, and that's how I found this video. I was curious on dual booting into linux but most of the videos are regarding intel macs (which I have rn but won't soon)
Hey, can you test out Doom 2016? It has Vulkan and OpenGL 4.5 support, I tried it on GPTK and it complained about not having some libraries for OpenGL, kinda expected. I'd love to see Doom Eternal running on a laptop like this tho.
These videos are great for ppl who aren’t used to using CLI. My only experience with Linux is with an Ubuntu laptop years ago and it was not user friendly with the constant driver updates.
We need it soon, to use games like on Steam deck, running the easy anti cheat,
I wonder why the Minecraft on Asahi Linux looks much oversaturated. Is that because of some setting, or simply graphic glitch?
I tested switch emulators on Asahi Linux and the results are not so good. Hopefully when Vulkan come in the future the gaming scene would be much better.
I have two questions: firstly, can the system be installed on an external disk, and secondly, when will the computers be integrated with m3?
No, external booting is not possible for M-series hardware due to fundamental security choices made by Apple. Asahi linux support for M3 will only be possible after Apple releases M3 Mac minis due to their use in the reverse engineering process, so it may not be available until the end of 2024.
Did you notice a difference in fan speed when testing between mac and Asahi?
i kinda wish the asahi project would prioritize usb-c displays over hw gfx acceleration,
like this is cool, but i can't make use of it if my screen doesn't have an HDMI port
I recently installed Ubuntu 23.10 on my M1 MacBook Pro. And it runs better than on macOS, which surprised me. Well the battery isn't as great as on macOS but thats okay with me 'cause I don't take it much out and so I have an outlet always nearby. Also on the latest macOS verison, my Mac got always warm and sometimes hot, like intel Macs, which confused me bc on Big Sur it stayed cold all the time, even if you use something like Final Cut Pro. On Ubuntu, it stays cold like on Big Sur and its not getting any hot when doing things. The Display resolution also looks better on Ubuntu, on macOS it looked weird when u look close to the display, in ubuntu its just sharp and clear. The speakers are also louder and sound a little better. One thing that annoys me is that the touch bar isn't working and I am not able to connect my airpods to it yet. hopefully that gets fixed someday. But overall it runs great.
Dude, I have the same device as yours! I recently installed Ubuntu Asahi on it as well, but it freezes at the login screen every time I boot it up, have you had this problem? Do you know how to fix it?
Have you tried Asahi?
@@dinozaurpickupline4221 it is Asahi
Where is the installer option to install MATE if one is more used to that?
Can you install it on an external ssd and boot it on Mac ?
Does this mean we’ll be able to play OpenGL 3.3 games on Crossover?
unfortunately, steam is not available on Asahi linux so far (I do see a very complicated trick to run steam on it, but doesn't work when I tried)
Does someone know if it's possible to install Asahi Linux on an external SSD to boot from it?
Mac temps? On Linux ? In Emulation?
will it be possible to run rocket league from steam or pirate assassin for example??
omg, I'm an SWE myself, I cannot even imagine the amount of work they'd done to make it happen, just wow 👏👏👏
What about Proton and Proton based gaming on Asahi?
I've covered this in a previous video of Lina's custom 4K pages version of Asahi Linux running Proton. The implementation isn't ready for public yet, but will come in the future.
@@Andytizer sure they need some testing base, I wanna try it out. Thanks for the info! Good video BTW.
I guess first step is to write hardware drivers for M2 and M3, then optimize them and then per game and rewrite proton etc. for ARM... with illegal Rosetta2 modded I assume games work emulated very very good in M1 if linux can boot enough... can't game still in Windows ARM using Windows Games...
Awesome!
So soon SteamOS for Mac (based partly on Asahi's work) ? 🤩
Both Asahi and SteamOS 3 and up are based on Arch Linux if I'm not mistaken.
Not arch,they use rhel derivative
for some reason installing prismlauncher doesn't work
Bright future for mac gaming, kudos to asahi team!
Is the installation only to internal SSD or am I missing something? Can it not be installed and ran from an external SSD?
if i remember right the boot loader on apple silicon macs doesn’t support booting from external drives
Dumb question: Could any of this OpenGL or Vulkan support in Asahi Linux be ported to MacOS?
You know the answer...
does this support the OG M1 macbook air?
yes
do I need to install Asahi new again to have the update or can I update it in linux? ( I use Asahi linux fedora gnome )
dnf upgrade --refresh
Nice!
Does it work on Intel MAc?
we will see soon egpu nvidia in linux for m chip :)?
This is absolutely amazing!! Linux finally making some serious progress to work on arguably the best laptop hardware in the world. I really hope the Asahi team gets more support so they can keep improving their Linux distro.
Subscribed. Mac Linux is the future
You should have taught us about how to install Linux on external storage.
Why not use box64?
I mean, in mac there are many translation layers from OpenGL and Vulkan into metal. So this is very nice! Sure! But idk it i would call it a breaktrough just yet, it is more like the foundation that will eventually lead into something bigger
The reason apple stopped openGL support is they new what features future apple GPUs would have in HW abd did not want to go to the lengths of faking them as the Linux team needed to do.
Yeah, the day vulkan is usable I'll be switching to asahi
I'm slowly turning into Linux stan at this point
I already run Linux Mint as daily driver for many things, although still use Mac as the primary. More and more trying to get away from Windows when games run well on Linux or Mac.
Were you able to test the last Yuzu release on this?
why would you care about yuzu when ryujinx has native apple silicon support for both cpu and gpu
Hi Andrew! I've been doing testing on running x86 Windows games on Asahi Linux :p
Great, I saw on Lina’s channel she has made lots of progress! What games work best right now, any Asahi Linux exclusives?
@@Andytizer Currently I'm able to run early-2000s-era Windows PC games...
There is no GPU hw with full VK implementation as the spec consists of thousands of optional APIs that you’re only supposed to support if your HW supports them.
Notable here is the difference between apples GPUs in HW pipeline to PC GPUs that means some/many pc VK titles will still need a runtime shim to run on a VK driver for apple silicon. VK does NOT provide a hardware agnostic api at all!
Would love to see Fedora GNOME on M1 iPad!!!!!!!!! 😄
Hey Andrew. Wanted to know if I can play palworld with decent fps on m2 air 8gb with crossover 24.0
Maybe 1080p at 30 fps
@@chidorirasenganz how can i set up at 1080 pls tell..
Clickbait. There is no vulkan or proton. But open gl 4.6 is still cool.
My guy has such a hard on for views. Like come on, you’re not making a living off of reporting Mac gaming, why you gotta clickbait so much?
How is it clickbait when he says it’s a step towards vulkan lmao
not really clickbait imo, since it doesn't imply they're working. only that a breakthrough was made (unless he changed title)
@@chidorirasenganz since people read what they want to read and blame who they want to blame. I thought it was a terrific, well presented report. I'm not a gamer at all, but it was exciting news. 100,000+ tests passed and fully 4.6 compliant! Now someone should backport it to a Mac KEXT.
That will come next, still this is amazing news
Do steam games work?
Steam doesn’t work
Vulkan and proton next pls, And Apple gets even more customers because people then buy Mac Minis and Max for gaming that uses less power❤
been waiting so long for MAc Mini3 than 2025 Qualcomm Elite and Galaxy on ARM Windows PC will come sooner
... Mediatek 9300 ARM SoC for smartphone are very impressive and very windows capable... Apple doesn't care about burn up and fed up PC users to get attracted to Mac... is a fact...price cost step in for any sensible but exigent PC user is always upwards $2000 to $6000 (don't try any pro or workstation like or you'll go $10000 to $20000, for PC equivalent of $4000 to $15K if you go 10 times faster than mac most expensive whatever... is like they don't want cheap pc user to come, but neither they want top or pro or business PC clients...
Man I can't wait until Asahi supports 120hz 😫
Interesting but I use Mac for macOS, I love playing on macOS too.
Mac gaming will never become a thing if you have to install Linux first.
Seems great, one day I'll buy a MacBook because it is better hardware & software
So let me get this right : even if a miracle happens and compatibility of Asahi will be 100% (which will never happen) THEN IT WOULD STILL BE LINUX ON ARM. With all the drawbacks that will entail. You can't seriously expect that they can just recompile Proton. It doesn't work like that. Somewhere a conversion has to be done from x86 code to ARM code that Proton doesn't currently need to do. Some people in the comments are completely ignoring this out of, sorry, ignorance. Sorry to burst your bubble but wake up.
So it performs better until it doesn’t, like in complex scenes. OK.
Is not a mac gaming....its linux emulated on mac ....its linux gaming
this was b8
Hurry up guys 😂😂😂 so I don’t need to buy a frickin’ gaming PC… I want to spend the $ on a new M3/M4 Mac instead but can’t really run my Steam and GOG games just yet even with Whiskey, etc. Still hanging in there and holding onto my saved up stash of bottle caps
this is groundbreaking?
Yeah, It's pretty hard to reverse engineer something without any documentation.
@@iFlxyyes but practically speaking, does this actually mean anything?
@@kloakovalimonada They need to implement Vulkan drivers for DXVK and VKD3D (which are the components of Proton that translate DirectX API calls to equivalent ones in Vulkan) I'm pretty sure that's their next goal because OpenGL works pretty well now.
Linux Mac gaming is amazing and very welcome, becasue is time to retire some old PCs with proper Mac at affordable prices... but only thinng GROUNDBREAKING are european Mac M3 laptops prices.... 16GB unified ram starting at 1529€ with 256GB, ahahahahahaha LMAO, but it plays better than PC "game console" longer time and doesn't have any fan... 15in 16GB 512GB just 2049€, what a deal... beyond fart...
OpenGL has nothing to do with Vulkan
Parts of Vulkan are based on OpenGL, particularly OpenGL 4.6. They need to get OpenGL working first if they want Vulkan.
thank you trans women
What?
I can turn my $6,000 macbook pro 16 into a minecraft machine?
Clickbait
clickbait
what about fortnite ? 1:34 @Andrew Tsai
Love it, while Asahi Linux has a ways to go, it's certainly incredible seeing the community tear down Tim's walled garden 🧱
What "ways to go" does Linux have?
