Support for multi external monitors and improvements to power efficiency. It's also unlikely that my company's security team will permit Asahi until Apple Silicon support is available in the mainline Linux kernel.

I asked and they said currently they don't permit it

Native GPU support with support for Vulkan APIs and some games running would also go a long way towards making the switch as I'm permitted to dual boot MacOS and Asahi - allowing me to once again use one device for "work and play".

Right now I dual boot Asahi and it's "work and experiment"

I'd imagine they're talking about like-native support for the GPU and heterogeneous CPU architecture. Plus, the desktop experience in the article avoids some of the less-finished MBP parts like the speakers and brightness controls.

For me it’s the fact you can’t use external displays and the fact it can’t sleep yet so it drains while the lid is closed.

All things that should be fixed soon.
