  Hardware and software docs / wiki (by AsahiLinux)

  

Work from the Asahi Linux team has been upstreamed since 5.13. This article makes it sound like 6.2 is good to go when that's really not the case.

There is a list of upstreamed and missing functionality on the Asahi Linux wiki here: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support

Linux 6.2 adds... cpufreq to M1s, devicetree for newer hardware, HDMI out to Mac Studio (2022) and bluetooth support. That doesn't sound as interesting as this article suggests when stuff like USB, the touchpad, keyboard, speakers, 3.5mm audio, suspend/sleep are all still WIP.

This isn't a dig at the Asahi Linux developers. They're making solid progress. This is just a bad article.

  OpenZFS on OS X (by openzfsonosx)

  

This is completely wrong. ZFS works very well via O3X [0]. I ran my home folder off of ZFS on various Mac Pros for ~11 years. ZFS works well in Linux and FreeBSD as well.

  Linux kernel source tree

It appears so. It exists and is in tree but it's probably going to stay "optional features only" for the foreseeable future since rust can't currently target all platforms that the kernel supports.
