>I am very impressed with how smooth and problem-free Asahi Linux is. It is incredibly responsive and feels even smoother than my Arch Linux desktop with a 16 core AMD Ryzen 7945HX and 64GB of RAM.

Hmmm still have issue with the battery in sleep mode on the m1. It drains a lot battery when it is in sleep mode compare to mac sleep mode.



Twice my battery was flat. Now I just do a complete shutdown, since Asahi boots in ~30s (M1 Pro).


Why does battery get drained in sleep at different rates? Is it a connected standby mode?


Afaiu, there are different levels of sleep and Linux doesn’t support all of them fully on Macs at the moment.


At the bottom he also says.

> higher battery drainage during sleep, so I usually just shut it down entirely when not using it

> no hardware acceleration for video decoding

> some USB port quirks and external display quirks

I just don't understand why people go through all these lengths to be such sycophants for Apple.
