Hector Martin, a Tokyo-based IT security consultant by day and hacker by night, has kicked off what he is calling the Asahi Linux project.

Martin announced the crowdfunding project in December and officially launched the project this week after reaching the $4,000 per month target he wanted to begin serious work on the Linux port for Apple’s M1 â the first release of Apple’s Arm-based silicon system-on-chips (SoC) for Macs.

The project is being developed in the open with contributions regularly pushed to GitHub.
