Alyssa Rosenzweig<p>Vulkan 1.4 sur Asahi Linux =)</p><p><a href="https://rosenzweig.io/blog/vulkan-14-sur-asahi-linux.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">rosenzweig.io/blog/vulkan-14-s</span><span class="invisible">ur-asahi-linux.html</span></a></p>
Asahi Linux<p>Today, the Khronos Group released the 1.4 specification of Vulkan, the standard graphics API. The Asahi Linux project is proud to announce the first Vulkan 1.4 driver for Apple hardware. Our Honeykrisp driver is <a href="https://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products#submission_812" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Khronos-recognized</a> as conformant to the new version since day one.</p><p>That driver is already available in our official repositories. After installing Fedora Asahi Remix, run <code>dnf upgrade --refresh</code> to get the latest drivers.</p><p>Vulkan 1.4 standardizes several important features, including timestamps and dynamic rendering local read. The industry expects that these features will become more common, and we are prepared.</p><p>Releasing a conformant driver reflects our commitment to graphics standards and software freedom. Asahi Linux is also compatible with OpenGL 4.6, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 3.0, all conformant to the relevant specifications. For that matter, ours are the only conformant drivers on Apple hardware for any graphics standard.</p><p>Although the driver is released, you still need to build an experimental version of Vulkan-Loader to access the new Vulkan version. Nevertheless, you can immediately use all the new features as extensions in Vulkan 1.3.</p><p>For more information, see the <a href="https://www.khronos.org/news/press/khronos-streamlines-development-and-deployment-of-gpu-accelerated-applications-with-vulkan-1.4" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Khronos blog post</a>.</p>
Asahi Linux<p><strong>PSA: Transitioning from zram+swap to zswap</strong></p><p>Since the release of Fedora Asahi Remix, the default configuration for machines with 8GB and 16GB of RAM has been to enable zram along with an 8GB swapfile. We have concluded that this configuration is not effective, and can cause premature out-of-memory conditions (most commonly, oom-killer reports while using Firefox). </p><p>Starting now, a <code>fedora-asahi-remix-scripts</code> update will transition systems with swap enabled to use zswap and disable zram. The change will be effective after a reboot. <strong>Systems that do not already have a swapfile enabled (using the default config at <code>/var/swap/swapfile</code>) are not affected by this issue, and will continue to use zram only unless a swapfile is manually created (by default, this is the case for 24GB RAM and larger systems).</strong></p><p>The new configuration ensures that on-disk swapspace can be fully utilized before the machine reaches an out-of-memory condition. However, due to the different behavior of zswap, the new configuration also <em>reduces</em> the maximum combined memory capacity of the system (RAM+swap) by around 4GB (this applies when zram is <em>not</em> misbehaving - people running into premature OOM situations will <em>still see an improvement</em> despite this). For this reason, new systems will now default to a 12GB swap file (in the next release of the installation images).</p><p>Existing systems will not be automatically upgraded to a 12GB swap file. If you want to expand your swap file, you can do so by running <code>sudo /usr/libexec/fedora-asahi-remix-scripts/setup-swap.sh --recreate 12G</code>. You may also change the argument to any desired swapfile size.</p><p>There is no change to the defaults for systems with 24GB RAM or more. If you wish to increase your available virtual memory, you may <em>either</em> increase your zram allocation (copy <code>/usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf</code> to <code>/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf</code> and edit it to set the zram size, which can safely be up to your RAM size) <em>or</em> run <code>sudo /usr/libexec/fedora-asahi-remix-scripts/setup-swap.sh 12G</code> to transition to zswap (replacing <code>12G</code> with your desired swapfile size).</p>
Asahi Linux<p>PSA: An lsp-plugins regression broke audio on Fedora Asahi Linux 41 (and other distro variants). A Fedora update has been submitted to fix it and should be live within ~24h. We recommend holding off on updates until then. F40 is unaffected.</p><p>If you have already updated to the broken version, you can temporarily downgrade using <code>sudo dnf downgrade lsp-plugins-lv2</code>.</p>
Asahi Linux<p>Small clarification: We consider the complete x86 emulation/Steam stack as a whole to be preview quality right now. The underlying GPU drivers, however (OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL) have passed hundreds of thousands of conformance tests and considered production quality for native apps running on the host system. Performance and (optional) features will improve over time as always, but they are certainly not alpha-quality.</p>

Asahi Linux<p>PSA: Due to an Apple firmware handoff bug, brightness control will stop working on Asahi Linux if you upgrade macOS to macOS Sequoia beta. macOS itself (13.5) is also affected by this bug.</p><p>The workaround is to power down the display and power it up again, after which brightness control works. You can do this by closing the lid, or mapping a shortcut key to Turn Off Screen in System Settings (KDE), or using the <code>kscreen-doctor --dpms off</code> command.</p><p>We have filed FB14918428 with Apple and hope they resolve this prior to the general availability of macOS Sequoia. If they don't, we'll add a hack to m1n1 to power cycle the display for affected systems during boot.</p><p>Edit: This issue might only affect non-ProMotion displays.</p>
Asahi Linux<p>Did you know that you can enable color management on Fedora Asahi Remix with KDE to get accurate screen colors on MacBooks?</p><p>Apple Silicon MacBooks have displays that are calibrated to the Display P3 colorspace. You can use a <a href="https://github.com/saucecontrol/Compact-ICC-Profiles/blob/master/profiles/DisplayP3-v4.icc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">generic Display P3 ICC profile</a>. There are two ways to use it:</p><ul><li>If you want your whole desktop to render accurate sRGB colors, go into the KDE System Settings, and assign the ICC profile under Display Configuration (note: due to some bugginess you might need to close and reopen the laptop lid for the change to work). This will enable conversion from sRGB to the native Display P3 colorspace, and should make sRGB colors across all apps accurate.</li><li>If you want to edit wide-gamut images, leave the KDE ICC profile disabled and instead assign the Display P3 profile as your monitor profile in your image editor (e.g. in GIMP, do so under Preferences → Color Management). This will leave the rest of the desktop uncalibrated, but you will be able to edit images with accurate color management, including wide gamut ones.</li></ul><p>If you happen to have a colorimeter, please let us know how well this works!</p><p>Once the Wayland color management protocol is ready and implemented, these two use cases will merge and we will be able to have accurate sRGB UI colors together with wider gamut support in image editing software.</p>
Asahi Linux<p>Quick PSA: We're disabling Tap-to-click by default on Fedora Asahi Remix with KDE Plasma.</p><p>Most macOS users are used to using Press-to-click, and in fact this is also the libinput default for Apple trackpads. However, KDE overrides the default to enable Tap-to-click.</p><p>While some users might be used to this mode from e.g. other laptop manufacturers, it causes usability issues since Press-to-click continues to work. Users using Press-to-click are often unaware that Tap-to-click is also enabled, and then experience unintended clicks as a result. By changing the default, we can make sure that only users who consciously enable Tap-to-click have it enabled.</p><p>This change retroactively affects users that have <em>not</em> modified the Tap-to-click setting in the KDE System Settings, and will be applied on the next login after a system update. If you wish to re-enable Tap-to-click, you can visit the Touchpad page in the System Settings app and do so there. After the setting is changed once, any future changes to the default value will no longer affect it.</p>

For other distros, please check with the relevant maintainers.</p><p>Fedora bug: <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2302577" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c</span><span class="invisible">gi?id=2302577</span></a></p><p>For those who have already updated, adding <code>brcmfmac.feature_disable=0x82000</code> to your kernel command line should work around the issue and make WiFi work again, allowing you to update to the fix once it is released.</p>
Asahi Linux<p>PSA: We have just pushed an incompatible UAPI change to our kernel and Mesa packages. Please do an offline PackageKit upgrade or, if you use dnf directly, reboot after the upgrade. GPU rendering will fall back to software rendering until the reboot.</p>
Asahi Linux<p>GPU acceleration support for Flatpak is finally coming to Fedora Asahi Remix! Try it out today:</p><pre><code>sudo dnf copr enable @asahi/flatpak<br>sudo dnf install mesa-asahi-23.08-flatpak mesa-asahi-22.08-flatpak<br></code></pre><p>Then launch any Flatpak from Flathub that uses the GPU.</p><p>(Note: supported on the FDO 22.08 and 23.08 runtimes only, which covers the vast majority of Flatpaks on Flathub. <em>Flatpaks on the Fedora flatpak repo are not yet supported, as the special Fedora runtime has an <a href="https://gitlab.com/fedora/sigs/flatpak/fedora-flatpaks/-/issues/31" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">incorrect extension config</a> we can't use as-is, and would need separate Mesa builds once that is resolved.</em>)</p>
Ubuntu Asahi<p>The Ubuntu Asahi logo was designed to represent Ubuntu on Apple Hardware AND to represent members of the queer software community who made this possible. We are proud to wear these colors all year round. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈</p>

Asahi Linux<p>To answer one question that keeps coming up: No, our GPU driver work cannot be ported to macOS in a useful manner.</p><p>While it is <em>theoretically</em> possible to run our Mesa OpenGL and Vulkan drivers on macOS, doing so would rely on an undocumented and unstable low-level GPU kernel API. This API changes with almost every macOS release, therefore making this a non-starter for production use. Your apps would break with every OS update.</p><p>There is, however, one entity that could take upon this effort: Apple themselves. As the drivers are permissively licensed, nothing stops them from integrating Mesa into macOS, and keeping the kernel API integration up to date with macOS releases.</p><p>So, if you want conformant OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.3 on macOS, look in Apple's direction. We're doing all the hard work for them, they just have to take it and use it. 😉​</p>
