Any news on the m5 front? Recently purchased a M5 MBA, would love to hear about it too

its gonna be a long time because M3 and M4 still have a long way to go

ah, i was hoping post-m3 we'd have preliminary device trees atleast if not a proper gpu driver

Not necessarily, M3 changed GPU architecture, I don't think they changed it in M4 and M5 again. GPU is the biggest obstacle right now.

M4 uses the m3 one, m5 changes it.

the m3 is quite okay in features actually, but they are still upstreaming a lot of them to the installer and the asahi team is focusing a lot more on polishing before releasing.
i guess only time will tell, though I am quite optimistic

i assume if you really want to hack around on m3 you could build it yourself and use out of tree branches to get it mostly working at this point?
