On her streams, @lina has demonstrated the ability to run many commercial games on Asahi Linux. This may seem simple (it's just games!) but actually requires the combination of multiple bleeding edge technologies:
- FEX-Emu: a high-performance x86_64 emulator for aarch64.
- TSO enabling.
- Alyssa and Lina's reverse engineered GL driver.
- An implementation of Rob Clark's DRM native context for asahi.
- krun for lightweight virtualization and virglrenderer integration.

Just gave Plasma a try for the first time in years (I have a thing for tiling managers, so I mainly use sway, falling back to GNOME in exceptional situations). It's gotten *really* good. Kudos to the devs.
