Asahi Linux Highlights Recent Upstream Efforts In Linux 6.15, Other Ongoing Efforts


With the Linux 6.15 kernel soon to debut as stable, the Asahi Linux project issued a new blog post outlining some of the new code they managed to get upstream for this next mainline kernel version as well as some of their other efforts for enabling Linux on modern Apple Silicon hardware.

Also finding their way upstream are a number of critical patches for supporting various functional blocks in Apple’s SoCs. We discovered that the Always-On Processor (AOP) on M2 Pro/Max devices differs slightly from the rest of the Apple Silicon family, meaning that microphones currently do not work on laptops with those SoCs. The current Asahi Linux level of support for different devices and SoCs can be found via the project documentation.
