Asahi Linux developers have published a status report following the recent Linux 6.19 kernel release to outline recent progress and upcoming items around Apple Silicon support on Linux. This year will also mark five years that Asahi Linux has been around for bringing Linux to the Apple M-Series hardware.

Their latest progress report began by commenting that the DisplayPort Alt Mode support with USB-C – a very frequent question from users – will be “done when it’s done”. There still is a “fairy dust” branch with their downstream code in current form but not officially supported.
