Asahi Linux (and )

I Asahi Linux; probably the best Linux installation I have ever performed.

I run Asahi Linux on my 2020 13" Macbook Pro after I literally curl | sh it one day after getting fed up with the bloat of .

Initially Asahi Linux used Arch, which was a familiar and pleasant experience but pretty much nothing worked. No speakers, camera, USB, touchbar (I have a physical ESC key, because 2020 13") and I enjoyed semi daily driving it.

Then one day the folks at Fedora dropped their initial remix and once again I was booting up to curl linux | sh on to my new Apple device.

Running Fedora Wayland KDE Plasma on it is a wonderful Linux Laptop experience, but for personal memory reasons I've stripped that all away and going back to running AwesomeWM. I might have insulted Emacs elsewhere on my website, but you can rest assured my fingers are being contorted.

Pros: - Linux builds don't sound like a jet airplane taking off - KVM (qemu) on arm64 :chef-kiss: (mostly) - Reclaimed my hard disk space, after I purged some

Cons: - HDMI, fingerprint reader no worky - USB detection/hotplug needs some work - I'm running awesomewm, which is awesome, but I have no idea what I'm doing with it most of the time - I did not know dnf was a thing now, and was initially very confused. - Only finding a linux_arm64
