    Impressive! I thought emulation would be embarrassingly slow - my attempts to get Windows VMs running on macOS on Apple Silicon resulted in single-digit FPS just rendering the desktop. What dark arts are they conducting?

      FEX redirects graphics library calls to their native equivalents. This substantially reduces the amount of translated code you need to execute.

      slp did a nice demo at KVM Forum last month. https://kvm-forum.qemu.org/2024/The_many_faces_of_virtio-gpu_F4XtKDi.pdf and https://youtu.be/10Ztv0UI5I0?si=19KPcA6wGbXM3IsS

    What a legendary team. What can we expect in term of graphic performance? Will it take advantage of the powerful mac GPU if you have one? I ain’t no programmer but I admire what these people are doing with reverse engineering.

      Yes, asahi always installs to a separate partition so your base os shouldn’t be affected

        and it’s easily reversible from macOS’s perspective? i’m familiar enough with partition OS installs (remember boot camp?) but there’s so many new security “features” these days

          Yup it’s stupid simple. All you have to do is delete the linux partition and expand back the macos partition.
