With Asahi Linux you can play Windows games on a Mac with Apple Silicon CPU



For players who they prefer to use Linuxand what do they count with a Mac with processor Apple Siliconit seems that there is good news. Asahi Linux has been updated with the Fedora 41 Remix features to add desktop options and the ability to run triple A games directly on a Mac with Apple processors, in the new Fedora Asahi Remix 41.

Mainly Asahi Linux has achieved that Linux runs on Apple’s exclusive Arm-based processorsthis needs a specific and custom GPU driverwhich is considered the first to support OpenGL 3.0 for these Apple Silicon. Furthermore, with this latest update, it has also been introduced improvements in this driver what is done compatible with Vulkan 1.4.

This will allow users play Windows games, under Linux, on a Mac…Compatibility becomes possible thanks to the work of Valve with the emulator Protonalong with the FEX emulator, Wine and vk3d-pronton. At the moment there is a list of known games that are capable of running on Asahi Linux on a Mac, which have been tested with an Apple M1, but unfortunately still there is still work to optimize since they do not usually reach 60 FPS.

It must also be said that there are some hardware problems On Macs, for example, there are incompatibilities with ports Thunderbolt, with Touch ID and with screens connected by USB-C. We hope that Fedora Asahi Remix 41 will continue to be updated to support more games and with higher quality.

My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I broke down my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and 210MB of hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles I write for Geeknetic. I dedicate most of my free time to video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
