OpenGL 3.1 on Asahi Linux

Its been more than a year I'm running asahi on my macbook air and I can't stress how grateful I feel for enjoying such wonderful freedom.

I don't feel like ever going back to x86 to be honest, at this point there is nothing lacking or unable to run and when the neural engine drivers come online now that the GPU is starting to mature people will be able to juice out every last bit of computation this machine is capable of.

For the record, I've switched to the edge branch a couple of months ago and honestly I noticed no actual difference in my day-to-day tasks which is really telling about how powerful even the M1 is when it can handle software rendering in such an effortless manner coupled with anything else running.

Really thank god for asahi being a thing.

Would you say buying e.g. a Mac mini for 2.3k€ just to run Asahi Linux is worth it?

You can get a used M1 mini for more or less 400€. Get a glimpse of whats going on in your local facebook marketplace, most likely you'll come up with nice offers.
