Asahi Linux released a major installer update (version 0.8.0) coinciding with Linux kernel 7.0's April 2026 release, introducing automated CI/CD deployment after a two-year gap since the previous version. The update adds support for Mac Pro models, fixes incompatibilities between outdated Devicetree bindings and kernel 6.18+, and implements new automation to prevent similar synchronization issues going forward. Going forward, any push to the main GitHub branch will automatically build and deploy installer updates, eliminating the previous manual bottleneck that delayed critical updates. This matters for distro maintainers and users running Asahi on Apple Silicon hardware, who were previously unable to boot newer kernels from live media.
