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.
This doesn't yet work out of the box but the next few months will be very exciting.
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.
