Some more references
This page is pretty sparse -- here are some more sources for further content. I've omitted articles focusing on the m1racles bug which I think is out of scope for this article, it's already (rightfully) covered on marcan's biography.
(I would work on this myself but I have a COI)

- @Arzg: Thanks for the links, I knew it was pretty sparse when I created it, but it was better than nothing. I'll look into expanding it. PhotographyEdits (talk) 16:09, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
- I've expanded the article quite a bit as the recent alpha release has meant there is a lot more coverage in sources, so it's no longer a stub. Arzg, you have my complete and utter support with getting the GPU acceleration working; having an alternative OS that can be supported forever and ever is a major step forward for these Macs, and once the core firmware support is in place, the open source nature will mean development and support will explode and give macOS a run for its money.

"recruited" text is misleading
![]() | It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Asahi Linux. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |
The page says "Martin announced the project in December 2020, and formally started it a month later, after securing funding of around $4,000 per month. Alyssa Rosenzweig, who developed the open source graphics driver stack Panfrost, was recruited to help work on support for the Apple Silicon graphics processing unit (GPU).[5]".
I was not "recruited", Asahi is a hobby project for me, not something I'm paid for.
The cited ref says only "The Asahi project today also announced it had gained the help of Alyssa Rosenzweig", which doesn't have those implications.
I would appreciate if this could be amended, before citogenesis kicks in ;-) Thanks! -Arzg (talk) 16:32, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
