Asahi Linux now supports M3-series Macs (lwn.net)
<p>The Asahi Linux project has <a
href="https://asahilinux.org/2026/09/m2-episode-1/">announced</a> that support
for Apple's M3-series chips has been added to the Asahi installer.</p>
<blockquote class="bq">
<p>Linux support for M3 series SoCs and the machines powered by them is now in a
state where <em>almost</em> everything supported on the M1 and M2 series
machines just works. This includes the webcam, internal microphones, USB (up to
the hardware limit of USB 3 10 Gb/s), hardware accelerated video decoding
<strong>including support for AV1</strong>, WiFi, Bluetooth, and much more! The
only major exceptions remain full DCP support and the GPU, which we will have
more news on in the <a
href="https://indico.freedesktop.org/event/12/contributions/532/">coming
months</a>. <strong>Do not expect performant or power-efficient 3D acceleration
right now.</strong></p>
