    Impressive! I thought emulation would be embarrassingly slow - my attempts to get Windows VMs running on macOS on Apple Silicon resulted in single-digit FPS just rendering the desktop. What dark arts are they conducting?

    What a legendary team. What can we expect in term of graphic performance? Will it take advantage of the powerful mac GPU if you have one? I ain’t no programmer but I admire what these people are doing with reverse engineering.

      Yes, asahi always installs to a separate partition so your base os shouldn’t be affected

        and it’s easily reversible from macOS’s perspective? i’m familiar enough with partition OS installs (remember boot camp?) but there’s so many new security “features” these days

          Yup it’s stupid simple. All you have to do is delete the linux partition and expand back the macos partition.
