The Asahi Linux project has made significant progress in porting Linux to Apple Silicon, with the release of Linux 7.3. Upstreaming work continues, with two major drivers, macaudio and avd, being prepared for submission. The macaudio driver required substantial changes to the ALSA core and support for Apple's custom audio hardware, totaling 3100 lines of code. Meanwhile, the avd driver has been added to the upstream list after just three months in the downstream tree, marking the project's shortest turnaround time yet and paving the way for a potential transition to upstream-first development in the future.
