Asahi Linux Brings Gaming to M1/M2 Macs

Apple’s M1 and M2 Macs have taken the computing world by storm with their impressive performance and efficiency. However, one common complaint among users has been the limited availability of games that can run natively on these devices. That is, until now.

Thanks to the work of the Asahi Linux team, gaming on M1 and M2 Macs is now a reality. Asahi Linux, a project dedicated to bringing the Linux operating system to Apple’s silicon, has made significant progress in developing a functional Linux kernel and support for the M1 and M2 chips.

With this development, users can now install and run popular Linux gaming platforms like Steam, Proton, and Lutris on their M1 and M2 Macs. This opens up a whole new world of gaming possibilities for Mac users, who previously had to rely on dual-booting or emulating Windows to play their favorite games.

The Asahi Linux project has also made it easier for developers to port their games to Apple’s silicon, as they now have a viable alternative to macOS for testing and optimization. This means that we can expect to see an increase in the number of games that are compatible with M1 and M2 Macs in the near future.

In addition to gaming, Asahi Linux also brings other benefits to M1 and M2 Mac users, such as improved performance and compatibility with a wider range of software and hardware. This makes these devices even more versatile and appealing to a broader audience.

Overall, the work of the Asahi Linux team is a significant milestone in the evolution of M1 and M2 Macs as gaming platforms. With support for Linux and its robust gaming ecosystem, Mac users can now enjoy a more diverse and enjoyable gaming experience on their machines.
