We hadn't heard much from them since the announcement; until now, that is. + +We now have the result of the collaboration between the [Fedora Asahi SIG][2], and the [Asahi Linux project][3]. It has arrived in the form of the **Fedora Asahi Remix 39** release. + +So, join me as I take you through this unique Linux distro. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][4] + +### Fedora Asahi Remix 39: What to Expect? + +![][5] + +**Fedora Asahi Remix 39 is an alternative to macOS for Apple Silicon-equipped Mac devices** based on the [Fedora 39 release][6]. It aims to provide a tailored experience for Mac users with considerable platform and device support. + +With the current release, there are varying degrees of support for the **MacBook Air** , **MacBook Pro** , **Mac Mini** , **Mac Studio** , and **iMac.** + +The **key highlights** of this release include: + + * **A Wayland Only Approach** + * **Two Desktop Environments** + * **OpenGL Implementation** + * **Fully Integrated DSP Solution** + + + +![][7] + +#### A Wayland Only Approach + +This has been a trend among distro developers for 2023, and Fedora Asahi Remix is no different. It comes with a complete integration of the [Wayland][8] environment, which is slowly becoming the mainstream choice for many popular distros. + +There is also **support for HiDPI displays** , and future plans include introducing support for display notches and HDR. + +📋 + +Users of X11 apps need not worry, as Fedora Asahi Remix features [XWayland][9]. + +#### Two Desktop Environments + +![An image of Plasma 5.27 for reference.][10] + +Fedora Asahi Remix 39 comes equipped with two desktop environments (DE), the flagship is [KDE Plasma 5.27][11], which looks rather neat in my opinion. + +The experience on this has been tweaked in such a way that you don't feel unfamiliar, and can take advantage of the features of your Mac device. + +![An image of GNOME 45 for reference.][12] + +For those who don't prefer Plasma, there is also the option of switching to [GNOME 45][13], it also has full support for Wayland, and provides **a similar experience to macOS**. + +The installer also sees some work, Fedora Asahi Remix 39 features **a custom version of the Calamares installer** that allows you to quickly set up the system. + +#### OpenGL Implementation + +Fedora Asahi Remix claims to be the world's first and only [certified][14] **conformant OpenGL ES 3.1 implementation for Apple Silicon.** What this means for you as the end user is that **apps and games will run/render properly** without causing much fuss. + +There is also **non-conformant support for OpenGL 3.3** , and their plans also indicate future introduction of OpenGL 4.x and Vulkan support. + +#### Fully Integrated DSP Solution + +To complete the whole package is their [DSP][15] solution for Fedora Asahi Remix that lets you **take advantage of high-quality audio** without the need to set it up manually. + +They have also included their in-house bass boosting tech called “[Bankstown][16]” and an Amp implementation called “[Smart Amp][17]”, to output improved loudness and dynamic range from your speaker. + +### 📥 Get Fedora Asahi Remix 39 + +Before you go about installing, ensure that you have **at least macOS 13.5 or macOS 14.2 installed,** as **Fedora Asahi Remix requires macOS to be installed**. + +Then, run the following command to get the latest release: + +``` + + curl https://fedora-asahi-remix.org/install | sh + +``` + +You can also get the latest build from the [official website][18], or you could visit the Asahi Linux [website][19] for the same. + +[Fedora Asahi Remix 39][19] + +There are **two other variants on offer** , one is **a minimal image** that allows you to fine tune your Fedora Asahi Remix experience, the other is **a server image** meant for setting up servers. + +The [official documentation][20] is a must-read if you are looking for further instructions. If that doesn't help, then you could always ask [the community][21] for help. + +* * * + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/fedora-asahi-remix-39-release/ + +作者:[Sourav Rudra][a] +选题:[lujun9972][b] +译者:[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对:[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译,[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/sourav/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/fedora-asahi-remix-apple/ +[2]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Asahi +[3]: https://asahilinux.org/ +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/08/android-chrome-192x192.png +[5]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/Fedora_Asahi_Remix_39.jpg +[6]: https://news.itsfoss.com/fedora-39-release/ +[7]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/04/Follow-us-on-Google-News.png +[8]: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/ +[9]: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/xserver.html +[10]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/kde-plasma-52-27-1.jpg +[11]: https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-5-27-release/ +[12]: https://news.itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/gnome-45-home.jpg +[13]: https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-45-release/ +[14]: https://www.khronos.org/conformance/adopters/conformant-products/opengles#submission_1007 +[15]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signal_processing +[16]: https://github.com/chadmed/bankstown +[17]: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/speakersafetyd +[18]: https://fedora-asahi-remix.org/builds.html +[19]: https://asahilinux.org/fedora/ +[20]: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-asahi-remix/ +[21]: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/neighbors/asahi/
