I'm running Asahi Linux on my macbook, and the trackpad feels amazing there! Especially pixel perfect scrolling and gestures in mutter.

I only have two minor issues:

There doesn't seem to be a working stop scroll event when using kinetic scrolling in Firefox. On osx you can stop kinetic scrolling by just touching the trackpad, but on linux you have to scroll a little bit to slow it down.

And generally the kinetic scrolling isn't yet consistent across applications. Firefox has a nice implementation, but it feels quite different from Gnome apps, and then some like gnome-terminal don't have working kinetic scrolling yet.

    On a personal note, the most interesting part here is that I did the
    release (and am writing this) on an arm64 laptop. It's something I've
    been waiting for for a _loong_ time, and it's finally reality, thanks
    to the Asahi team. We've had arm64 hardware around running Linux for a
    long time, but none of it has really been usable as a development
    platform until now.
    
    It's the third time I'm using Apple hardware for Linux development - I
    did it many years ago for powerpc development on a ppc970 machine.
    And then a decade+ ago when the Macbook Air was the only real
    thin-and-lite around. And now as an arm64 platform.
    
    Not that I've used it for any real work, I literally have only been
    doing test builds and boots and now the actual release tagging. But
    I'm trying to make sure that the next time I travel, I can travel with
    this as a laptop and finally dogfooding the arm64 side too.

They wouldn't blow up, but if the tick size is too small there's no point in displaying orders on the book and you end up with less liquidity.

With full gesture support we'll hopefully get more interactivity, so e.g. if you switch workspaces with a four finger drag it moves as you perform the gesture and stops if you stop moving your fingers. fusuma seems to only recognise the gesture and then run a command afterwards.

Woo! Amazing progress, and great to see the sensible approach. Well done Povilas and Bill.

Sometimes verification is much easier than calculation.
