We said external displays would come to Asahi Linux in 2025… and it’s still 2025! Here’s experimental kernel code for single-port DP alt-mode, for developers to test as we iron out the kinks before releasing to end-users: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux/tree/fairydust
For more information, make sure to watch Sven Peter’s talk at 39C3: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-asahi-linux-porting-linux-to-apple-silicon
Happy new year and happy hacking!
In our final progress report for 2025, you'll find even more patches making their way upstream, 39C3, and a special treat for M2 Pro/Max MacBook users. Happy holidays from the Asahi Team!
like UNIX was a bunch of corpos who couldn't agree on a subset of APIs to finally agree on a subset of APIs and then sell entry to the big bois club for monis.

Save future videogames from planned obsolescence!
There is an initiative asking the EU to regulate or at least clarify video games being made inaccessible remotely by publishers.
The initiative is on an official channel provided by the EU itself, if it reaches one million signatures the European Commission will have to look into the matter and provide a response, there is still a month until 31 July.
As code static analysis becomes more capable, it detects unreachable code in internal APIs. Example (simplified):
"No need to check for NULL paramter because function is never called with a NULL here."
This is counter productive. It assumes that calling code will never change. But we all knnow it always will.
Demoscene became cultural heritage in Sweden.
