It’s FOSS reports that two developers forked Asahi Linux to create Gravity Linux, a Fedora Remix for Apple Silicon Macs, saying they went their own way because of a difference in contribution policy around LLM use. The project’s commit history carries Assisted-By tags openly crediting AI coding tools alongside human authors, in contrast to the upstream project. The first alpha targets the M4 Mac mini with KDE Plasma on Wayland, with the display controller and GPU working and OpenGL ES 3.0 and 3.3 support, though suspend, Thunderbolt/USB4, and USB-C display output are unsupported and shutdowns and reboots are inconsistent. The team plans to upstream its reverse-engineered driver work to the Linux kernel, Mesa, and U-Boot and then sunset the distro once mainstream distributions run on the hardware.
Gravity Linux: an Apple Silicon distro forked from Asahi over LLM contribution policy
