# Add GPU support to Asahi Linux
Before we can isntall the gpu drivers we first need to obviosly [[install asahi linux]]

Afterwards, you can run the following series of commands:
> to update the system
```bash
sudo pacman -Syu
```
> [!NOTE] You may need to run this command multiple times
> It takes a while so be patient - many retries

Then, we can install the Asahi edge kernel package
```bash
sudo pacman -S linux-asahi-edge
```

Then, install mesa edge
```bash
sudo pacman -S mesa-asahi-edge
```
> [!NOTE] Replace existing?
> You will be prompted to replace an existing mesa, just enter Y for (yes) and continue

Now that we upgraded the edge kernel, we must update the GRUB
```bash
sudo update-grub 
```

> [!Hint] Weyland instead of Xorg
> Its recommended to run the weyland session instead of the xorg session after doing this
> If using the KDE plasma desktop, make sure to install the wayland session package
> ```bash
> sudo pacman -S plasma-wayland-session

Now REBOOT
```bash
sudo reboot
```

### Then at top of login, pick wayland session type from dropdown
