Now, the flagship Linux distribution based on Asahi\u2019s work has just been updated with some helpful improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Fedora Asahi Remix is the official variant of Fedora Linux designed for Mac computers with M1 and M2 chipsets. It has now been updated to version 43, matching the Fedora 43 release from October 2025. That means Apple Silicon Mac owners can now benefit from the changes in GNOME 49 or KDE Plasma 6.6\u2014there are two versions available, so you can pick your preferred desktop environment. You also get the same updated RPM 6.0 and DNF5 package management features.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the changes carried over from Fedora 43, the Asahi Remix also has improved hardware drivers for Mac computers. It now has support for the Mac Pro and its M2 Ultra chipset, the built-in microphones in the M2 Pro and M2 Max MacBook Pro, and 120Hz on 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, support for newer Mac models still hasn\u2019t arrived. Fedora Asahi Remix only fully supports Mac computers with M1 and M2 chips\u2014Apple introduced the M3 series in late 2023, and most current models have either an M4 or M5 chipset. Some features are also still missing on M1 and M2 computers, such as USB-C displays, the speakers and microphone on the iMac, and Thunderbolt and USB4.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n    \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t&#8230;<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/linux-on-apple-silicon-mac-computers-gets-better-with-fedora-asahi-remix-43\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linux on Apple Silicon Mac computers gets better with Fedora Asahi Remix 43 https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/linux-on-apple-silicon-mac-computers-gets-better-with-fedora-asahi-remix-43\/ Publish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":224990,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.howtogeekimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/linux.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[139,97,71],"class_list":["post-224989","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-asahi-linux","tag-fedora","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224989"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224989"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224989\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":224991,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224989\/revisions\/224991"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224990"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224989"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224989"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224989"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
