"Asahi Linux Project Achieves Superior OpenGL Support on Apple Silicon Compared to Apple"

The Asahi Linux project, aiming to support Linux on Apple Silicon Macs, has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing Apple's OpenGL and OpenGL ES graphics support with its latest GPU driver. Despite the challenges posed by Apple's hardware, the Asahi team's driver now fully conforms with OpenGL version 4.6 and OpenGL ES version 3.2, enabling better compatibility with software like Valve's Proton and supporting native Linux apps. The project's next focus is on supporting the low-overhead Vulkan API on Apple's hardware, with basic support for the newest M3 Macs expected to take at least six months.
