Fedora Asahi Remix 41 is out now bringing the most polished version of Linux for Apple Silicon Macs, along with support for AAA gaming. It's developed in collaboration between the Fedora Project and Asahi Linux.

As announced on the Fedora blog it's built upon Fedora 41 with the KDE Plasma 6.2 desktop environment as their flagship (best supported), but GNOME 47 is also an option for those that want it. The exciting thing about this release is the much improved gaming experience!

Developer Alyssa Rosenzweig from the Asahi team blogged about the big gaming improvements that I covered here on GamingOnLinux back in October, and this release brings it all together along with the new and improved conformant Vulkan 1.4 driver. Writing about the graphics driver upgrade developer Rosenzweig mentioned:

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.

Installing it on an Apple Silicon Mac is surprisingly easy too, you just need access to a terminal and then run a simple command and it will walk you through it.

Wonderful to see such insanely impressive progress for running Linux on modern Apple Silicon hardware.
