Good to hear that more people are donating to further the project. So far and in the past year I did not have any problems with Asahi Fedora, and it has been my daily driver on an M1 MBP. At home even USB-C => DP worked on fairydust kernel, but it's lack of stability doesn't personally bother me as my MBP has an HDMI port (I got lucky there) :)
I am glad that they are making progress and that more developers are joining! However the account balance on Open Collective is over $100k and I am wondering how they will use that money. It is probably very difficult to start paying someone in a volunteer project. The pmOS team was in a similar position and started paying people for upstreaming code, because it is the most unfun part while most important task in the project. They also recently hired a contractor for some long standing complicated issue, which I also believe is money well spent. I just think that they need to start spending this money or people will stop donating, which could lead to some funding bottlenecks in the future.
