Asahi Linux project’s OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple’s


Newest driver supports the latest versions of OpenGL and OpenGL ES.

Developer Alyssa Rosenzweig wrote a detailed blog post that announced the new driver, which had to pass "over 100,000 tests" to be deemed officially conformant. Though there are still things that don't work, Fedora Asahi Remix is surprisingly polished and supports a lot of the hardware available in most M1 and M2 Macs—including the webcam, speakers, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and graphics acceleration. Other features, like Thunderbolt, running displays over USB-C, the system's built-in microphone, and the Touch ID fingerprint sensors, remain non-functional.
