Update to asahi linux kernel asahi-6.8.6-3 #191

Closed oliverbestmann closed 2 months ago

oliverbestmann commented 2 months ago

Things seem to work on my M1 pro as far as I can see. I have not tested HDMI yet.

Update to kernel version asahi-6.8.6-3
Adjust config options to match fedora
Remove rust 1.76 and rust 1.77 patches, as they seem to be already applied in 6.8

Thank you. Manually merged to clean up and fix some stuff: https://github.com/tpwrules/nixos-apple-silicon/commit/c501fa8f33020afdb3e7c97c29502cd24f46f78a

This does break stable users but we'll see if someone can contribute a patch. I'm not aware of huge improvements with this version anyway.

Nice, thanks!

What do you mean with "breaks stable users"?

Regarding improvements: I observed a 10% score increase when running glmark2 after updating the kernel to 6.8 on my m1 pro compared to the 6.6 kernel. This might also have a positive effect on wayland and friends.

The Rust stuff is no longer compatible with the compiler version in stable nixpkgs so that support is broken. I tried reverting the patches but couldn't figure it out.
