    It’s not. Asahi is the project that figured out how to get m-series Mac’s running Linux. The code they write gets ported out to the rest of the Linux distros too. Asahi has fedora running on these.

    You can use whatever you want. Asahi fedora Linux is just the latest thing for these Macs in Linux land. It launches there and finds its way out to the rest of Linux.


  • Oh I get that but those struggles are intentional and self-inflicted. I wanted a puzzle. I got a puzzle. The community can help guide me in directions when I need an assist.

    The thing about Linux that sort of makes it a monkeys paw is it is incredibly versatile. It doesn’t have a direct path to a specific goal. It doesn’t get locked down with corporate bullshit some pinhead business major has decided you will love because it makes their line go up. It can be built into literally anything you want it to be.

    But with options and versatility comes complexity. So Linux lets you do anything, but you have to know what you are doing. You can and will break things as you learn. And it will piss you off along the way. But that’s also the joy. If it does something I don’t like, it’s because I told it to, and that means I can also tell it not to.

    Windows does something you don’t like? Well, have you tried buying majority shares of Microsoft?

    Mac does something you don’t like? No, you can’t have that opinion because there’s so many PC fanboys mocking what they do right that actual Mac users dismiss real criticisms of the platform as haterade so there are never enough consequences for Apple to motivate change or even recognition.


  • Because it’s an 8th gen you can break things in favorable ways. But modern intel systems don’t have that vulnerability. And the ability to fully crush ME has yet to be realized. All we have right now is the ability to confuse it on a per-boot basis.

    AMD has a similar problem thought its arguable less hostile and better executed than intel’s approach. We still want it gone though.
