The Asahi Linux project has achieved an early milestone by booting Linux to the KDE Plasma desktop on Apple M3 hardware. While the breakthrough demonstrates foundational progress, major challenges—particularly around GPU acceleration and hardware support—remain before Apple’s latest Macs can deliver a practical Linux experience.

Linux 6.19 introduces important USB2 and USB3 fixes for Apple Silicon Macs, along with broader hardware improvements, enhancing stability and usability for Linux users on M1 and M2 systems.
