Conclusions

So what does this all mean for users of the Asahi Linux reference distro today? It means… things are way faster!

Since the Mesa driver no longer serializes GPU and CPU work, performance has improved a ton. Now we can run Xonotic at over 800 FPS, which is faster than macOS on the same hardware (M2 MacBook Air) at around 600*! This proves that open source reverse engineered GPU drivers really have the power to beat Apple’s drivers in real-world scenarios!

Not only that, our driver passes 100% of the dEQP-GLES2 and dEQP-EGL conformance tests, which is better OpenGL conformance than macOS for that version. But we’re not stopping there of course, with full GLES 3.0 and 3.1 support well underway thanks to Alyssa’s tireless efforts! You can follow the driver’s feature support progress over at the Mesa Matrix. There have been many, many other improvements over the past few months, and we hope you find things working better and more smoothly across the board!

Of course, there are lots of new corner cases we can hit now that we have support for implicit sync with an explicit sync driver. We already know of at least one minor regression (brief magenta squares for a couple of frames when KDE starts up), and there’s probably more, so please report any issues on the GitHub tracker bug! The more issue reports we get, especially if they come with easy ways to reproduce the problem, the easier it is for us to debug these problems and fix them ^^.

* Please don’t take the exact number too seriously, as there are other differences too (Xonotic runs under Rosetta on macOS, but it was also rendering at a lower resolution there due to being a non-Retina app). The point is that the results are in the same league, and we will only keep improving our driver going forward!
