applegpu VS asahi-installer

The most complete documentation is in the applegpu repo[1] by dougallj showing a great deal of recent activity (including by alyssarosenzweig). Last I checked, the documentation of barrier instructions wasn't complete enough to tell whether these device-scoped barriers are possible. (Note: on RDNA2, they're accomplished by DLC and GLC flags on memory accesses, combined with cache flush instructions such as S_GL1_INV).

There's also a lot of great material, accessibly written, on Alyssa's blog[2], see in particular the posts titled "Dissecting the Apple M1 GPU, part ${I}".

In addition to removing rosetta 2 as someone already said, you can clear out old macOS install stubs using this script. Note that you have to run it from recovery mode:

I found this GitHub issue - https://github.com/AsahiLinux/asahi-installer/issues/103

I've opened an issue on our GitHub to track macOS upgrade problems. Please post a comment there with the information I requested, so we can try to figure out what causes this.

Ease of use and convenience will typically be the most attractive and viable option. I’m pretty sure you can take a look at what the script does here: asahi-installer
