For those who do not know, asahi project until now has only worked on m1 and m2 macbooks till now (newest ones are m5). While I do not remember the technical details as to why it has not worked on m3 yet, here are official pages for support - https://asahilinux.org/fedora/#device-support and more detailed https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m3/ , but the other day in some thread someone mentioned that the way asahi folks got it working was to load some vms at very early stages of boot, and that way they got stuff working, which was changed (here is link to their comment, though it mentions only m4 being the hard one, so maybe this one is not the correct reason - https://piefed.social/post/1656479#comment_9667816), but more generally, it is because apple is a closed eco system, and thy absolutely do not publish support guides for their socs. So a big achievement.



barely booting, but that is like one of the hardest step
