foxmean<p>อินจัดๆ <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/asahilinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahilinux</span></a> เป็นโครงการที่เฝ้าดูมาตั้งแต่ซื้อเครื่องมาใหม่ๆ เกือบครึ่งทศวรรษแล้ว เดินทางมาถึงจุดที่มีคนใช้งานได้จริงๆ แล้วก็ปลื้มใจจนอยากสนับสนุนบ้าง ช่วงนี้จ่ายค่าเช้าให้ big tech เสียเยอะ แบ่งมาจ่ายให้ซอฟต์แวร์เสรีบ้าง สมัยก่อนเคยจ่ายอะไรเหล่านี้ทั้งๆ ที่ยังหาเงินเองไม่ได้เลย ตอนนี้คงต้องกลับมาพิจารณาช่วยจ่ายค่าเหล่านี้บ้าง</p>
Anisse<p>So, let's start with the most obvious, the performance cores; they make the most sense for a CPU-intensive task; on my systems those are CPU 4-7. We can see here that the promise of the Trifecta Foundation holds, as the rust implementation is about 4% faster. 4/N</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bzip2</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RustLang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RustLang</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AsahiLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsahiLinux</span></a></p>
Anisse<p>I'll do benchmarks using my own <code>bzcat</code> and comparing that with bzip2's original <code>bzcat</code>. All running on an M1 laptop running Linux. The M1 CPU has both performance and efficiency cores. We'll run the benchmark on both, using <code>hyperfine</code> to do the comparisons. 3/N</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/bzip2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bzip2</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AsahiLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AsahiLinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/hyperfine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hyperfine</span></a></p>
Sven Peter<p>SMC made it just in time for the merge window!

Sven Peter<p>Just sent our pull requests for 6.17: <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/20250722163258.62424-1-sven@kernel.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lore.kernel.org/asahi/20250722</span><span class="invisible">163258.62424-1-sven@kernel.org/</span></a></p><p>Not many changes inside our tree this time. A few fixes and the GPU device tree bindings. These describe the hardware resources (think MMIO, interrupts, calibration data, etc) it needs to function and provides these to the driver. This way, the same driver can handle the various slightly different GPU configurations without hardcoding anything.</p><p>I wanted to get SMC in there as well but life and work got in the way, but it should make it into 6.18. </p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/asahilinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahilinux</span></a></p>
Ewen Bell 📸<p>Regular reminder for anyone who might have an Apple Silicon based Mac that Asahi Linux is a thing and a good thing. It's not just Intel Macs that can play nice with Linux.</p><p>I love my little M1 Macbook Air. It's great hardware and never gets overheated. But sometimes I need to play with Linux instead of MacOS.</p><p>Asahi installation was able to hive off a small partition during setup to dual-boot. It's very smooth and makes for a great desktop. I've got Firefox and LibreOffice and even Proton VPN running nice. It's ready for prime time.</p><p>Am sending this toot from Asahi Linux right now :)</p><p><a href="https://asahilinux.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://asahilinux.org/</a></p><p><a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/asahilinux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AsahiLinux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/linuxonmac" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxOnMac</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/applesilicon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleSilicon</a></p>

James Calligeros<p>So today I bought a 9070 XT and reassembled my amd64 PC, which I retired a couple of years ago, because I really, _really_ want to play video games again without worrying about FEX or Rosetta.</p><p>So far, I have had 3 kernel oopses of various provenance. Haven't had one kernel oops on any of my Macs unless I was hacking on stuff.</p><p>The graphics card by itself sucks down over 30 W just sitting at the desktop. My entire Mac Studio idles at less than 5 W.</p><p>The fans will not shut the fuck up no matter what I do. The Mac Studio fans are never audible, even at full system utilisation.</p><p>The motherboard's DMI information is straight up just wrong, and the SuperIO chip has no hwmon driver. The Mac Studio's Devicetree is (obviously) correct, and the SMC hwmon driver works well.</p><p>The CPU pulls about 50% more power than my Mac Studio while being noticeably slower. </p><p>The motherboard's builtin audio interface is unusably bad compared even to my MacBook Air's headphone jack.</p><p>The only parts of this experience that are objectively better than using a Mac with Asahi are gaming performance (no shit, there's no emulation of history's worst instruction set involved), monitor support, which is something we're actively working on anyway, and boot time although it's close.</p><p>The whole PC ecosystem is, unbelievably, even more totally ratfucked than it was when I last abandoned it. For the money I've spent today to get back into the PC, I could've bought two whole Mac minis with change left over, or a new audio interface and calibration mic to retune some of Mac speakers that need it.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/asahi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahi</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/asahilinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahilinux</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/PC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PC</span></a></p>

Sven Peter<p>We have this weird bug in m1n1 that I first hit about a month ago. It’s likely a race and/or cache issue somewhere, only happens when running something under the hypervisor (normal Linux boots aren’t affected) and there a various ways to work around it (e.g. compile with gcc instead of clang 🙃) <br>I *thought* we figured out what’s going on yesterday night: core starts with the wrong stack and overwrites the stack of another core which then crashes when trying to jump to a pointer from the stack that was overwritten. The symptoms (and even the pointer it tries to jump to and the oberwritten stack) perfectly fit except that I looked at the SPs of all cores and they all look reasonable 🫠</p><p><a href="https://github.com/AsahiLinux/m1n1/issues/463" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/AsahiLinux/m1n1/iss</span><span class="invisible">ues/463</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/asahilinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>asahilinux</span></a></p>
