Attached: 1 image ✨ We got a bunch of Steam games to run on Asahi Linux!!! ✨ Most of them run at a solid 60FPS and all of them are playable on my M2 Pro~ 🚀 All running on a krun microVM with FEX and full TSO support 💪 I was not expecting Party Animals to run! That's a DX11 game, running with t...
Update : more games!
I'm still in shock how quickly they have progressed.
So how does that work given that most Steam games are x86/x64 and the M2 is an ARM processor? Does it emulate an x86 CPU? Isn't that slow, given that it's an entirely different architecture, or is there some kind of secret sauce?
Emulation.
Definitely going to incur a performance hit relative to native code, but in principle it could be perfectly good. It's not like the GPU is running x86 code in the first place. On macOS, Apple provides Rosetta to run x86 Mac apps, and it's very, very good. Not sure how FEX compares.
Virtualization actually, dont know why though
Why not click the link and find out? It's literally a Mastodon post, you don't even have to read much.
The post doesn't answer the questions, it's why I asked.
It says:

I was not expecting Party Animals to run! That's a DX11 game, running with the classic WineD3D on our OpenGL 4.6 driver!
Now I know some of these words, but it does not answer my question.
The Gods be damned it can run Crysis
I have no idea what asahi linux is and at that point I am to afraid to ask
Or Let Me Duck That For You for added snarkiness
Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.
If you're thinking what I'm thinking, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with beer.
Isn't it cause its the handle of the main dev?
Linux distro for apple ARM devices with reverse engineered drivers.
No Doom?
Since you asked...
Now it's complete! No party without Doom. ^^
The Asahi team never fails to impress. You can support the project at their Patreon. You don't need to care about Apple hardware to see the value in the work they're doing getting ported over to ARM PCs. Who knows? You might be donating to the health of your preferred distro on a device you will own down the road.
Btw the "official COPR" for
krunon Fedora seems unmaintained, but there is a new one with recent builds.
