The Asahi Linux project, which isworking to create a Linux distribution for Apple hardware, has announcedthat its new "flagship" distribution will be based on Fedora Linux.

Working directly with upstream means not only can we integrate moreclosely with the core distribution, but we can also get issues inother packages fixed quickly and smoothly. This is particularlyimportant for platforms like desktop ARM64, where we still run intorandom app and package bugs quite often. ARM64 desktop Linux hasbeen a niche platform (until now!), and with much less testingcomes a higher propensity for bugs, so it's very important that wecan address these issues quickly. Fedora already has a very solid,fully supported ARM64 port with a large userbase in theserver/headless segment, so it is an excellent base to build uponand help improve the state of desktop Linux on ARM64 for everyone.

There is a version for "adventurous users" to play with now, with anofficial release expected by the end of the month.
