Asahi Linux Expands to Apple M3 Macs; Fairphone 6 Plus and Boox Picco E-Reader Emerge

The open-source Asahi Linux project has announced official support for Apple's M3-powered Macs, though with some caveats. This development allows users to install and run Linux on the latest generation of Apple Silicon hardware, expanding the reach of alternative operating systems beyond macOS.

In other hardware news, the Fairphone 6 Plus has been released, aiming to provide a more average, yet ethically sourced and repairable, midrange Android experience. Meanwhile, Boox is preparing to launch its compact Picco e-reader in November, a device that follows in the footsteps of other small, specialized e-readers, though pricing details remain scarce.
