Touch ID support for Linux on Apple Silicon is finally shipping soon!
It’s been a while since I got Secure Enclave driver working, huge props to @SiliconForested & team for taking over and making it reliable and work across more machines. Also wouldn’t have been possible without all the other contributors who tried it on early and submitted PRs.
We’re also shipping more complete Thunderbolt support & hot-pluggable external displays and all sorts of accessories, building on top of Asahi’s incredible basic USB4/Thunderbolt support.
This is JUST the beginning. Much more exciting stuff coming. All new Macs are getting covered as we speak. Long-standing issues like power management are also being tackled.
I've never been more excited to hit merge on a PR than I was for this one. 🎉
It took 15 people on five continents to get here.
@jondkinney kept a branch alive for almost a year. @tiredkebab's fork pushed the idea further. Then came a lot of long conversations with @maralcbr and @bi9kahuna to get it over the line.
Major props to the rest of the Omarchy M team who helped in various ways as well: @martiano @riverleaf88 @buildwithdjdev @RyanTheTide @Acelogic_ @LiamRay1O @ewninjaofficial @jaidipsubedi @JoshuaSWarren @shawnyeager @novuon_ai
Thank you all. This one's special, and lays important groundwork.
There's a new version of this post
Meanwhile, Portal 2 running on MacBook Neo. Linux GPU driver for A18 Pro is almost complete!
Linux 7.4 To Introduce Initial Device Trees For Apple M4, A18 Pro For MacBook Neo
It will boot on these Mac M4 devices and MacBook Neo but not doing much beyond that.

We’re working hard on GPU drivers! Everything else is mostly done, this is the last mile. OpenGL 3.0 is 100% conformant & 3.3 is 95%~ complete @Acelogic_ is on it, and I’m working on the Vulkan 1.4 driver. It’s coming soon, stay tuned
Here. I’ve also been working on sealing keys like macOS Keychain and FileVault provisioning, got both working today!
