    You can run a GUI but it would currently run on the CPU not GPU. Reports are that the UI is quite snappy running on the CPU. The basic Asahi install is Arch with KDE. Linus apparently put Fedora on his travel laptop. What Linus was complaining about is Chrome support, which is coming or maybe is already available - https://twitter.com/asahilinux/status/1507263017146552326?la...

  • VK-GL-CTS

    Khronos Vulkan, OpenGL, and OpenGL ES Conformance Tests

  • It's more than that, it's the official conformance tests:

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Sibling comment, but this has links to Apple documentation: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33290808

    And this seems to be able to get it running: https://github.com/diddledani/macOS-Linux-VM-with-Rosetta

    I haven't tested this because I'm at work, but I'll verify it when I get home!

  • simdjson

    Parsing gigabytes of JSON per second : used by Facebook/Meta Velox, the Node.js runtime, ClickHouse, WatermelonDB, Apache Doris, Milvus, StarRocks

  • In my experience the M1 does have competitive SIMD performance?

    https://lemire.me/blog/2020/12/13/arm-macbook-vs-intel-macbo... (I later fixed the slower benchmark in that post: https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/1708 )

    Obviously the GPU will be better, but at one point I compared the M1 CPU to other ARM GPUs and found it had both better memory bandwidth and compute throughput, which is quite funny.
