Asahi Linux Progress Linux 7.3

Re:Asahi Linux Progress Linux 7.3 by KetoManx64 on Saturday November 07, 2026 @11:49AM (#50405962)

After seeing the blazing progress that Omarchy has been making with making Linux work on the latest macbook I'm planning on switching all 3 of the M1/M2 to Omarchy and planning on buying an M3 macbook air in the future. I appreciate the work that Asahi did to get the ball rolling, but they've just been left in the dust with their anti AI stance.

How, exactly? AFAIK, Asahi officially supports just as many Macs as Omarchy does. The vast majority of Apple Silicon support in Omarchy comes from upstream Linux changes merged by Asahi, not any of the Omarchy devs.

The only feature I'm aware of Omarchy adding is the fingerprint reader driver, which is in such a poor state that it could never be merged upstream. Which, if that's the standard of quality Omarchy is holding themselves to, they're the ones getting left in the dust.

People outside Asahi are making M4/M5/M6 work. Pretty soon Omarchy will support M1-M6 while Asahi will only support M1-M3.

> Pretty soon

The battle cry of all LLM apologists. Omarchy isn't new, they have no excuse for the pitiful quality of their code.

AI cannot squeeze blood from a stone. It's bewildering that I have to tell this to "Hacker" News, of all places.

AI proponents always act like this is self-evidently a bad thing, but it isn't. When someone is going in the wrong direction, it is good for them to leave you behind. I believe that projects which embrace LLMs are going in a bad direction, and I'm glad to see more sensible maintainers get "left in the dust".

The patches to the Linux kernel have been about 50% made by AI in the past 6 months. The magic of open source is you can just fork it and go at your own pace and do whatever you want, and others can embrace whatever technology they want and then market adoption just speaks for whichever is superior.

How is making your project better — more feature complete, more secure, more performant and optimized — going in a bad direction? This is all platitudes and virtue signaling. Give me substantive reasons LLM “slop” is worse than human “slop”.

To get the ball rolling? All the stuff you listed, the hard part, is already available in asahi.

Great, I thank them for open sourcing it and letting others build off of it. Their anti AI stance is political and childish and I look forward to the forks that created from their existing work: https://asahilinux.org/llm-policy/

Their project, their rules. I think they explained that using gen-AI would make it hard to defent the fact that they did black box refactoring. Who are you to say that is more childish that you crying about it? Cmon.

Nah, just love the project and hate the political gatekeepers. Looks like Asahi came out officially with their anti AI stance: https://asahilinux.org/llm-policy/
