A Linux-on-M1 update

The Asahi Linux project has posted an
update and reality check
on the status of Linux support for Apple’s M1
hardware.

We are continuously upstreaming kernel features, and 6.2 notably
adds device trees and basic boot support for M1 Pro/Max/Ultra
machines.
However, there is still a long road before upstream kernels are
usable on laptops. There is no trackpad/keyboard support upstream
yet.

While you can boot an upstream 6.2 kernel on desktops (M1 Mac Mini,
M1 Max/Ultra Mac Studio) and do useful things with it, that is only
the case for 16K page size kernel builds.

No generic ARM64 distro ships 16K kernels today, to our knowledge.
