AFAIK, apple does not release drivers open source, asahi is a reverse-engineering endeavour and does not support GPU. For nvidia, there are both proprietary and open-source linux drivers. CUDA and inference works on linux with nvidia. I would recommend checking out this video of Alex Ziskind to shop for a computer to run local LLMs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mevUEQcumzU&t=224s. TL;DR besides Apple he recommends, DGX Spark, Tenstorrent Wormhole N300, AMD Radeon 7900 and NVIDIA RTX 5090.
