The latest edition of the popular Linux distribution, Fedora Onyx, is now available for Apple devices with Apple Silicon chips. Based on Fedora 39, this distribution introduces alternative solutions for Apple devices with Apple Silicon chips.
The main features of this release include support for Apple Silicon series processors, such as Apple M1 and M2, and the default Wayland display server. Users have the choice of two graphical environments: KDE Plasma 5.27 and GNOME 45.
The new Fedora Onyx version provides smooth performance and efficiency comparable to the original Apple operating system. Users can also customize system settings, such as night mode, trackpad configuration, and screen scaling.
Support for HDR mode, VRR functionality, and 3D graphics APIs like OpenGL 3.3 and OpenGL ES 3.1 is also available. The creators also plan to introduce support for OpenGL 4.x and Vulkan in the future.
One of the key elements of the new system is excellent sound quality. Fedora Onyx utilizes the proprietary Bankstown technology and Smart Amp software, which ensure high-quality sound on Apple devices.
Unfortunately, not all features are available on specific Apple models. Support for Thunderbolt and external displays via USB Type-C is currently lacking. The full list of supported features can be found on the official Fedora project website.
With the release of Fedora Onyx, Apple device users now have a greater choice of operating systems and can take advantage of modern Linux features on their devices.
