      I love it on my M2 Mac mini. Useless with macos because it needs more than 8gb of ram just to start without loading anything but Asahi turns it into a fantastic ARM server. I just wish GPU team had more resources to finish the driver. M2 is absolute shit at transcoding on CPU. I mean it’s also terrible on GPU, but I can’t complain considering how little power it consumes.

          I know, but I don’t care about GUI or gaming. I just need transcoding.

          I guess they did a poll and most people want kde on these to replace their desktops so my use case is low priority. That’s why I wish Lina and her team had more resources.

            You’re not wrong. That’s why I kept a small macos partition to do the hard crunch when needed, like rendering in kdenlive. Everything else I can just do on Asahi, including Ardour multitrack exports.
