For those of you longing for better gaming on an Apple Silicon device, Asahi Linux is here to help.
While Apple’s own line of CPUs are relatively new kids on the block, they’ve still been around for four years now, giving hackers ample time to dissect their innards. The team behind Asahi Linux has now brought us “the only conformant OpenGL®, OpenCL™, and Vulkan® drivers” for Apple’s M1 and M2.
The emulation overhead of the system means that most games will need at least 16 GB of RAM to run. Many games are playable, but newer titles can’t yet hit 60 frames per second. The developers are currently focused on “correctness” and hope to improve performance in future updates. Many indie titles are reported to already be working at full speed though.
You can hear more about some of the fiddly bits of how to “tessellate with arcane compute shaders” in the video below. Don’t worry, it’s only 40 minutes of the nine hour video and it should start right at the presentation by GPU dev [Alyssa Rosenzweig].
If you want to see some of how Linux on Apple Silicon started or some of the previous work on hacking the M1 GPU, we have you covered.
Who makes a 9 hour video?
A lot of people, if you search Youtube for “9 hours”. Including multiple 9 hour countdown clock videos…
This is my all-time favorite long video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPLObjVAvIU
But to be honest, it’s 10 hours and not 9. And it hurts my OCD. I would therefore extend the question to: “Who makes a 9 hour video, and not a 10 hour?”.
That video had me riveted for the whole 10 hours. Simply amazing, great link.
P.S. I can’t believe I got got in 2024…
The same people who want you to buy their Atmega8 amazing AI IoT NTF Python development board for just $99.
What the f**k is your link mate. That is not on.
He’s a ratbag trying to simultaneously smear the real Dave while also screwing with the HaD community.
Posting a goatse link? That’s the sort of thing 14 year old edgelords did in 2001, how much of a loser is he to do it as a sad mid-40s white male in 2024?
Someone who wants to post their recording of a day’s worth of presentations and be done with it, because they have a life other than editing videos?
Someone who has a whole conference to record and post.
