@AsahiLinux this is really amazing, it is a huge advantage over MacOS, not just for maybe people who rely on some recent graphics APIs or Linux tools, but people who play video games, which are so many.
This might be like what the steam deck moment was for general Linux gaming, but now it is the Linux superiority on Macbook moment!
Also I wonder if Valve will be interested in this...

@lw64 @AsahiLinux I've heard rumors that Valve is working on an ARM64 system, so yeah I suspect they are :)

@ayke @AsahiLinux I think that work is probably targeting a new valve device though

@lw64 yes, but the work done for Asahi Linux (FEX etc) will probably help :)

@ayke actually I think valve might even have been looking into fex earlier than asahi. Anyways the x86 emulation layer existed before, so both projects probably only made minor adjusments, if at all.

@lw64 @AsahiLinux for games this is kinda possible on macOS too, due to gameportingkit + whiskyapp (an app that combines gameportingtoolkit with proton or whatever else needed) more lacking on macOS imho is f e using part of the gpu from a container.
