Inaccurate as well. The reason you don't give the fae your true name isn't for some pansy trololol "haha nobody can call you that now" bullshit, but because it gives them absolute power over your will.
That's as dumb as saying "yeah come right on in Dracula bro."
 
God I can't keep this bullshit straight. Did they just jack off on cam for each other while wearing lingerie or what? (Don't answer that, ever)

We all know they weren't, of course. The relationship isn't between Hector and the other guy, it's between Lina and Luna. The camera wasn't there so they could see each other, it was for the motion capture. Because we were created by a merciful and loving God, the only thing that saw them consummate their unholy union was software.

I don't know which is sadder, two fat men cranking to each other in lingerie, two fat men cranking it to each other's v-tuber avatars, or all the dipshits pretending that Lina and Luna are real people. I hate this decade.

It blows my mind that we are literally watching three men who voice poorly animated cartoon characters not only demand the whole world act as if their creations are real people, but then receive affirmation from thousands of strangers. High IQ educated men gleefully berate anybody who does not adamantly agree that these cartoons are living, breathing women. Remember when we were ridiculed for saying that the gender crap would lead to shit like this? Well now we're here and it has become impossible to tell if any of the dipshits involved actually understand that Cyan, Luna and Lina are fictional characters. Wow.

Most of the people cheering this on out of interest in seeing Asahi Linux succeed are all midwits. Only a midwit would run "curl https://alx.sh | sh" on a $3000 machine.
 
AFAIK Asashi doesn't even support M3 & M4, and I doubt it's a seamless experience on anything lower.
Correct.
It has mainly served as Hector Martin’s main grift to get paid doing his little vanity project.
And of course to pretend being a woman, which he is not and never will be.

It's pretty obvious that with these fat mentally retarded troons in charge and obstructing any real attempt to do Linux on an Apple machine, anyone with any sense will just spin up a VM.

I am a midwit who thinks it sucks that macOS sucks up 4+GB of RAM just to boot, and I like the memory savings of running Linux on bare metal.

I’m not a troon (TTD!), and I don’t want to add insult to injury by adding the memory costs of Linux on top of the massive memory costs of macOS.

Why can’t we agree that Hector is a lunatic who created something very nice?
 
It isn't very nice and it's barely functional and it can't do dick on current Apple hardware.
Not only that, it can't even take advantage of the actual nice things Macs do have. Apple Silicon MacBooks have a battery life of multiple days, with Asahi Linux it is gone within 17 hours. You'll also kill the battery for it quicker just by not having Apple's own power save mode extending the life. The Asahi Linux team can't reverse engineer the power save mode and they never will. The biometric login? They can't figure out the device and don't have a driver for it.

Hector and company deserve credit for figuring out an ARM SoC but I don't see what they have worked on worthwhile to install on a currently supported Mac machine.

I think the obvious devices to install it on are the Mac Minis that are often $450-500 on sale and don't use battery power. Grabbing an x86 device instead is the correct choice for anybody sane, but maybe your elderly neighbor gives you one for free and you don't want to use Apple's OS on it.

And in a normal programming community, this would have been enough to get people interested who were capable of doing the other things. But Hector is a bitch-ass crazy troon who is completely incapable of dealing with others.

Phoronix: The Former Lead For Apple Graphics Drivers On Linux Is Now Working At Intel (archive)
There's a follow-up to yesterday's surprising story of Alyssa Rosenzweig stepping away from Asahi Linux [archive] and that ARM graphics driver work where she led reverse engineering and development of the Asahi Gallium3D and HoneyKrisp Vulkan drivers within Mesa. She's now working at Intel on their Linux graphics drivers.
Phoronix: With Apple M1/M2 Graphics Driver Code Working, Alyssa Rosenzweig Stepping Away From Asahi Linux
As another very unfortunate setback for the Asahi Linux project moving forward after Hector Martin left the project as did Asahi Lina pausing work on open-source Apple driver development, Alyssa Rosenzweig announced today that she is stepping away from the project following the successes in bringing up Apple M1 and M2 graphics drivers for Linux.

I guess with both of the "main" developers gone Asahi Linux is pretty much done for? How far did they even get in getting Linux to work on Macs?
There are about 5 people still working on it. Within the past few days they rebased their changes on the 6.15 and 6.16 kernels and cut corresponding releases, and have implemented a Rust-based Apple Device Tree parser in the m1n1 bootloader.

It’s definitely not a dead project.
