So I’ve decided to try Linux on my m1 MacBook and I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s decently faster than macOS and it’s smoother. But I’ve got some minor issues which I’m wondering if they could be fixed. First and most important is the audio. It’s noticeably worse than in macOS and I’ve tried different eqs and that doesn’t seem to help. Second is the trackpad. It’s a lot less precise and scrolling on the web feels less smoother. Everything else is awesome and if there’s a way to resolve these issues I might even main it.

I'm more familiar with web stacks, especially for building fancy and smooth UIs, so I got Claude to figure out how to get a Wayland compositor to sit on it, and then run a kiosked Firefox inside that.

Needs a kernel patch rn due to some sort of bug/feature/something in the ADP driver, where the touchbar has 64 byte wide buffers but only shows 60 bytes of it, but ADP only allocates 60 bytes, causing some of the content to spill over to the next line and screw it all up.

But hopefully this means we can get fancier touchbars running on Asahi Linux!

So I just compiled and installed the fairydust kernel because I was missing the bigger screen aspect ratio of my external monitor and it worked flawlessly on first attempt.

I tried to set up the brightness syncing of both my external and built-in macbook display but for some reason sudo ddcutil detect can't detect my external display, is there any other workaround?
