    What is the “can’t count to three” joke about here? Did they skip supporting M2 or something?

      M2: Episode 1 (or, Asahi Linux on M3)

      Looks like its called M2 Episode 1, which is an alternative name for M3. But this is just the article title? I don’t think they know how the “can’t count to three”-joke by Valve works either.^^

      I think it refers to Valve Software never releasing the third game in their series, like Half-Life 3 and Team Fortress 3.

        That’s usually how “can’t count to three” jokes work, but this is clearly an announcement about someone successfully releasing a #3 of something. I don’t get it.

    OK this is pretty awesome.

    from their article:

    Linux support for M3 series SoCs and the machines powered by them is now in a state where almost everything supported on the M1 and M2 series machines just works. This includes the webcam, internal microphones, USB (up to the hardware limit of USB 3 10 Gb/s), hardware accelerated video decoding including support for AV1, WiFi, Bluetooth, and much more! The only major exceptions remain full DCP support and the GPU, which we will have more news on in the coming months. Do not expect performant or power-efficient 3D acceleration right now.
