- Asahi Linux developers are working on new kernel patches for Linux 6.17 and 6.18, including Device Trees for Apple M2 Pro/Max/Ultra.
- The team is transitioning the m1n1 bootloader to Rust for better maintainability, safety, and logic correctness.
- Progress has been made in gaming support on Apple Silicon, with Wine now working outside of muvm and graphics drivers maturing.
- Basic low-level support for Apple M3 exists, allowing booting to a blinking cursor, but more work is needed for practical use.
- The focus remains on upstreaming driver code and improving support for newer Apple Silicon chips like M3, M4, and M5.
