On: macOS Sonoma 14.4 removes critical functions from the fileproviderctl command

A large list of things that don't work and are not even being worked on doesn't sound enticing.

Things like HDMI, WiFi and Bluetooth don't work and are not being worked on.

Wrong on both counts.

focus was on m2 to get the release out because that is where almost all the users are.

As a result, I was the main one working on m3 before the new year, and got it through to Linux kernel loading (ie m1n1 works) and running macos under the hypervisor. Patches are submitted.

I also happen to be the one doing a lot of the wifi work.

Wifi and Bluetooth work fine on m3 - the chipset is the same as the m2.

It's listed as not working because there is no released Linux support yet.

Well then I guess I'm reading it wrong. Everything reads TBA: https://i.imgur.com/3hnUneR.png

And the definition of TBA is on the same page:

"TBA: Active work on this feature is not being undertaken at this time"

Suggestion: Add a new status for "Awaiting release".

These are all community maintained by volunteers, so please feel free to add it yourself as well?

If not, i'll try to get to adding it and updating when i get some more free time :)

M3 has only been out for a few months. Compare this to M2 and M1, where mostly everything works just fine with Asahi: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/M2-Series-Feature-Su...

For anyone who doesn't make using Apple hardware the top priority, might be a lot easier to just find more-open laptop hardware that you like, and use stock Debian atop that.

The monstrous battery life is a big draw.

Then buy a M2 instead, or a Thinkpad or something.

Yep. That's what I did. Linux with multiple monitor support that just works.
