Asahi Linux reports it is close to shipping a release with Apple M3 device support, with additional progress noted on M4 and M5 bring-up.
For engineers running Linux on Apple Silicon, M3 support would expand the range of usable hardware. The mention of M4/M5 achievements signals ongoing momentum but does not indicate imminent support for those chips. Only one feed carries this story and no article body is available, so detail is limited.

THE READ
What the cluster adds up to.
Asahi Linux, the project bringing Linux to Apple Silicon, has issued a status update indicating it hopes to ship a release soon that includes Apple M3 device support. The headline and summary from Phoronix are the only material available, so the scope and completeness of that support cannot be assessed from what is provided.
The same update mentions achievements around M4 and M5 bring-up, but the summary does not specify what those achievements entail or whether they translate to usable support. Engineers should treat M3 as the near-term deliverable and M4/M5 as earlier-stage work.
Because only a single feed carries this story and no article body is available, corroboration is absent. The note here is necessarily general: the concrete change is the anticipated M3 release, and the cost, limitations, and hardware coverage details are not provided in the source material.
