Are asahi Linux programs Apple compatible or something?

[-] Corvid@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

Asahi is a Linux distro for M-series Macs.

Asahi Linux is a project to get Linux running on M-series macs, which has taken a bunch of difficult reverse engineering, since Apple doesn't really provide public documentation on how they work.

Running Linux means they can run steam games like a Linux machine. This is a pretty impressive landmark in terms of their OpenGL rendering support.

Nope. The other way around, you leave macOS for Linux. Not sure why this was posted here other than Asahi is meant to run on Macs. But the software is just Linux after that.
