Fedora Asahi Remix 41 Available for Apple Silicon
If you have an Apple Silicon Mac and you're hoping to install Fedora, you're in luck because the latest release supports the M1 and M2 chips.
The Fedora Project has released version 41 of the Asahi Remix, which is available for all M1 and M2 series MacBook, Mac Mini, Mac Studio, and iMac devices. This release brings out-of-the-box support for high-resolution audio, a custom setup wizard, and plenty of updated software.
In terms of available desktops, Asahi Remix ships with KDE Plasma v6.2 as the default, but you can opt for Gnome (version 47). Gamers will be thrilled to know that x86/x86-64 emulation has been added with support for AAA games (with the new Vulkan 1.4 driver).
The display, keyboard (with backlight), trackpad, headset jack, speakers, camera, MagSafe (M2 models only), USB-C, WiFi, and Bluetooth features all work out of the box. However, USB-C displays, Thunderbolt/USB4, microphone, and Touch ID currently do not work.
If you're interested in reading more, check out the official site. To install Fedora Asahi Remix 41, you just need to run the following command from the macOS terminal app: curl https://alx.sh | sh.
