"We are happy to announce the general availability of Fedora Asahi Remix 45. This release brings Fedora Linux 45 to Apple Silicon Macs. What’s included

Fedora Asahi Remix is developed in close collaboration with the Fedora Asahi SIG and the Asahi Linux project. This release incorporates all of the exciting improvements brought by Fedora Linux 45. Like previous releases, Fedora Asahi Remix 45 supports Apple M1 and M2 systems. In addition, this release includes out of the box initial support for Apple M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max. Asahi Linux upstream now officially supports these new systems. The GPU drivers enabling performant 3D acceleration on the M3 systems are not included at this point. They will be available via a Mesa update in the future.

Fedora Asahi Remix offers KDE Plasma 6.8 as our flagship desktop experience. All of the new and exciting features brought by Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 45 are included.

A GNOME variant is also available, featuring GNOME 51, with both desktop variants matching what Fedora Linux offers. Fedora Asahi Remix also provides a Fedora Server variant for server workloads and other types of headless deployments. Finally, we offer a Minimal image for users that wish to build their own experience from the ground up. Installation

You can install Fedora Asahi Remix today by following our installation guide. Follow the usual Fedora Linux upgrade process for existing systems running Fedora Asahi Remix 43 or 44. Upgrades via GNOME’s Software application are unfortunately unavailable. Either KDE’s Plasma Discover or DNF’s System Upgrade command must be used."

    have an M1 MBA, got tired of macos trying to trick me into installing the AI frosted glass edition number of the year variant. Decided I’d rather risk bricking my mac than end up with a device that locks me into AI.

    It works really well. I think I booted back into macos once to just grab my files to a usb and move them over to the new install (you can’t remove it, you just get a separate partition for asahi and it has the ability to autoboot to asahi).

    I have faced 2 issues in the entire time, and one of them I half had with macos.

    1. usb c to display out is just not here. like at all. on macos, I could get it to work, but sometimes I needed to replug in a cable, or restart the monitor, and then it was stable, but it really took away the whole seemless 1 cable to have a docked setup simplicity I hoped for.

    2. I had a failed install once. Honestly might not even be related to Asahi. I don’t know how the deeper kernel stuff works. Was getting total black screen on boot. no signs of life but my backlit keyboard after the Uboot logo and stuff. But after being scared it got bricked, I slept on it, looked up how to get a terminal up, tried it. It worked. I had to translate the key combo and hold down the fn key to properly hit F2 but it worked. I updated from the terminal, it did a total reupdate, reboot, and bang, worked like a charm after that.

    I have not upgraded to asahi 45 yet. kinda haven’t wanted to hear my mac make its reboot sound twice like I have to for every update, but I have trust it’ll work. No urgency though since no usb c display out, which is my only real desire in an update (aside from reg security patches)
