Is the desktop GPU-rendered by this point? What's battery life like (for those using Asahi daily)?

Thinking about taking the dive...

It is GPU accelerated and very smooth since late last year. Battery life is about 6-8 hours on an M1 air for me, and should improve significantly with this latest upgrade (haven't measured yet).

The installation experience is very smooth, so it's very easy to try it out. You can nuke it afterwards if it doesn't work for you.
