Nice to see M3 support coming along as they work their way through the upstreaming backlog and improve tooling:

> finding their way into the Asahi kernel tree are patches to enable more hardware on M3 machines. This includes support for PCIe, MacBook keyboards and trackpads support, the SMC-based RTC and reboot controller, and the NVMe controller, courtesy once again of Michael Reeves and Alyssa Milburn. This brings Linux support for the M3 up to roughly the same level as the first Asahi Linux alpha for M1!



It will probably be barely useful by the time M6 launches!


Given they first discussed starting the M3 work in the February progress report, I'm less pessimistic.


The real challenge is the significantly different GPU and Asahi no longer has Alyssa on their side.
