Exciting Announcement: Apple Silicon Macs Now Support Fedora Linux!
The Flock conference made waves today as it brought news of a major collaboration between the Fedora Asahi Special Interest Group (SIG) and the Asahi Linux project. The result? Fedora Linux is set to be available on Apple Silicon Mac computers through the new Fedora Asahi Remix.
Optimized Experience for Workstations and Servers
For those eager to use their Apple Silicon machines with the power and efficiency of Fedora Linux, the wait will soon be over. With the Fedora Asahi Remix, users can expect an optimized experience for both Workstation and Server use-cases.
Faster Releases, Faster Integration
The decision to offer this support in the form of a Remix was made to keep up with the rapidly evolving Apple Silicon ecosystem. This will allow for prompt integration of new hardware support as it becomes available, ensuring a seamless experience for all users.
Upstream Contributions for Long-Term Success
While the Fedora Asahi Remix will provide immediate support for Apple Silicon Macs, the larger goal is to incorporate this support into the official Fedora Workstation and Server releases in the future. This aligns with the Asahi project’s mission to merge support for these systems into the appropriate upstream projects.
Get Ready: Official Release Coming Soon!
The first official release of the Fedora Asahi Remix is set for the end of August 2023. But for those who can’t wait to try it out, development builds are already available for testing. Just keep in mind that these builds are unsupported and may be unstable until the official release.
