Asahi Linux developers announced official support for Apple M3 Macs, excluding the Mac Studio M3 Ultra. While M3 Pro and M3 Max devices achieve near-parity with older M1 and M2 hardware, significant caveats remain. GPU support is currently not performant or power efficient for 3D acceleration.

Additionally, sleep functionality is unavailable due to a lack of DCP support, and the HDMI port on MacBooks does not work. The upstreaming of M3 features into the mainline Linux kernel remains ongoing, with initial boot support present but full integration targeting Linux 7.4+. Full details are available via Asahi Linux.org.
