Being worked on the past few months for upstream inclusion into the mainline Linux kernel has been patches for USB3 support on Apple M1 and M2 devices. Sven Peter has been leading the charge. These patches were updated earlier this month and now look good to go for making it into the next Linux kernel merge window.

    Genuine questions, in the Asahi Feature Coverage it says USB Type C (USB 3.0) is supported but not USB-C Displays

    1. Does that mean this feature was implemented by the Asahi Linux Team is now made more widely accessible?

    2. If I were to use an M1/M2 Macbook with Asahi Linux, I wouldn’t be able to plug in any external monitor?

    3. How dated are M1/M2 devices compared to M3/M4 already?
