My biggest blockers to switching to Asahi were mic and camera support, and video out (hdmi or usb c). Once all that was supported, I immediately switched over and it felt great to finally be running Linux again. But, it seems I totally glanced over the battery, battery performance is not great at all on Asahi, and unfortunately I'm back in macos again waiting for this issue to be resolved: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/linux/issues/262

Amazing work so far everyone!


Is video out supported now?


Last I checked you could use the dedicated HDMI port, but not video over USB-C, so no video via dock and no way to connect two monitors at once.

DP Alt Mode still WIP on both M1 and M2.
