What would be native enough here? What if they got Asahi working with NV gpus for rendering and running cuda kernels? Would eGPU on asahi be sufficient or do you really only see pcie worthwhile?

Some of us mainly want more gpu options on a high performance consumer arm machine (for Linux).

Thunderbolt still doesn't provide the full PCIe bandwidth, but even if it did, I'd want PCIe itself. I don't trust the encapsulated version over Thunderbolt to work the same.

Virtualized Linux would be ok though. That's what datacenters already do with their GPUs, albeit on x86 not ARM. Doesn't need to be Asahi, cause that's unlikely to completely work.

That's understandable.
