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

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

sudo pacman -S linux-asahi-edge

Then, install mesa edge

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

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

sudo pacman -S plasma-wayland-session

Now REBOOT

sudo reboot

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