Fascinating. :gnomewhite:
I installed both GNOME OS Preview and Fedora 45 on my M4 Macbook via UTM (a virtual machine application). Both were AArch64 versions, both had the same VM settings and same resources.
Out of the box, GNOME OS Preview is flawless. HiDPi native resolution, accurate scaling, and audio just works. Meanwhile Fedora 45 only goes to 1680x1050 and audio isn't working.
I wonder why?
@killyourfm The reason is probably because @alatiera has made sure it runs well on UTM on a M4.
@killyourfm Have you thought about dabbling with @AsahiLinux?
@jlw_the_jobber @AsahiLinux I was daily driving it when I had my M1 Macbook! But AFAIK, M4 support is in the very early stages and there's a lot of work remaining on that front.
@killyourfm @AsahiLinux Oh yeah. When I got my new to me Macbook, I went with a higher spec M2 max due to better support
@jlw_the_jobber @AsahiLinux I honestly wish I would have only upgraded to an M3...
@killyourfm That is very cool.. this is the first this project has popped on my radar. I don't have a spare laptop to test it out on but looking forward to seeing it solidify. Will you be using it as a daily driver for a bit? If so would love to hear how that goes
