It is very usable, but its far from everything working perfectly.&lt;p&gt;Builtin speaker support is still a work in progress. It works if you know what you are doing and are not afraid to damage your speakers if you make a mistake. There&amp;#x27;s been progress on this though, so I expect this to be resolved sooner than later.&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#x27;s no builtin speakers in the author&amp;#x27;s mac studio though, so I&amp;#x27;ll give them a pass for this one.&lt;p&gt;Bluetooth and wifi both work, but their drivers are still buggy. I see a lot of errors in dmseg from these drivers and occasionally things stop working and require a reboot to fix.&lt;p&gt;GPU acceleration works, but there is still a lot of work to do on that driver.&lt;p&gt;External displays over the thunderbolt ports don&amp;#x27;t work yet.&lt;p&gt;Other things that don&amp;#x27;t work on the laptops: webcam, touch-id &amp;#x2F; Secure Enclave, some miscellaneous software.&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#x27;t get me wrong, I&amp;#x27;ve been able to daily drive linux only on my m2 air since August. I love the hardware and the current state of Asahi meets my needs. And its been steadily improving over the course of time. But its far from &amp;quot;work[ing] perfectly&amp;quot; yet.</text></comment>

Once upon time I tried to make CTF with M2 Pro, and I seriously wished that I had x86_64 Linux instead.&lt;p&gt;Many of the penetration testing tools are not mainstream and they include pre-build x86_64 binaries, or are configured just to not compile with ARM, for reason unknown. 
And there is no time to figure out what is wrong.&lt;p&gt;I know this might be a niche scenario, but still...</text></comment>
