Key points

Fedora Asahi Remix 45 is generally available, bringing Fedora Linux 45 to Apple Silicon Macs. Besides M1 and M2, this release adds initial out-of-the-box support for Apple M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max, which the Asahi Linux upstream now officially supports.

Hardware support

  • Apple M1 and M2 systems remain supported, as in previous releases.
  • Initial support for M3, M3 Pro and M3 Max is included out of the box.
  • The GPU drivers that enable performant 3D acceleration on M3 systems are not included yet. They will arrive later through a Mesa update.
  • The remix is developed together with the Fedora Asahi SIG and the Asahi Linux project, and includes all Fedora Linux 45 changes.

Variants

  • KDE Plasma 6.8 is the flagship desktop, with everything from Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop 45.
  • A GNOME variant ships GNOME 51. Both desktop variants match what Fedora Linux offers.
  • A Fedora Server variant covers server workloads and other headless deployments.
  • A Minimal image is offered for users who want to build their own setup from scratch.

Installing and upgrading

  • New installs follow the project's installation guide.
  • Systems on Fedora Asahi Remix 43 or 44 upgrade through the usual Fedora upgrade process.
  • Upgrading from GNOME Software is not available. Use KDE Plasma Discover or DNF's System Upgrade instead.

Support

  • Remix-specific issues go to the project's tracker. User support is on the Discourse forum and the Matrix room.
