    Meaning like the kernel runs on them, or you can actually have a fully standard Linux like ubuntu running on it?

      Yes, but with several asterisks. You still need to bootstrap the Asahi base onto the machine. None of this would be possible without m1n1, creating a dummy macOS base to build the rest of the installation upon, and a whole range of not yet upstreamed patches.

      The intended path is to install either Asahi itself, or something like Fedora Asahi-remix. But with that said, nothing is technically stopping you from repackaging all their stuff, and installing something like Ubuntu or NixOS with an overlay

        Cool info to know. Actually doing anything with that info is way above what I’m prepared to do, but very cool to know that it can be done and is progressing toward everyday use

      Not “mainlined” means that the changes are not in the official Linux kernel. Only Asahi works on the M series
