Hold My Asahi: Linux on the Mac [CL81]

Hold My Asahi: Linux on the Mac Episode: 81 Published: 11/07/2023 Linux on Apple Hardware?!? Say it IS so! Asahi Linux’s principal objective (https://asahilinux.org/) is to allow Linux to run on Apple Silicon. This is the M1, M2, M3 chips that are proprietary to Apple, but based on ARM and not x86. They���re also (probably) eventually the only chips you will get in consumer grade Apple compute products. As we will see, these chips are amazing. They���re also firmly planted in Apple���s walled garden. Asahi Linux aims to democratize the awesome but monopolized hardware platform and let you run Linux, instead of just OSX. • Apple’s chip architectures are so profoundly different that it is hard to compare them in an apples-to-apples manner. (https://www.extremetech.com/computing...) • Linus Torvalds himself said in 2020 that he���d love to use the hardware to run linux (https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-t...) • But the project is getting attention and support from major distros- most recently Fedora (https://asahilinux.org/2023/08/fedora...) • Just this past week, the Asahi team reported a bug that could leave hardware in a ���difficult to recover��� state due to changes made to OSX () • The installation instructions are helpfully available on the Asahi webpage (https://asahilinux.org/2022/03/asahi-...) • The flagship version going forward will be Fedora Remix (https://www.fedora-asahi-remix.org/) • Intro and outro music by James Bellavance copyright 2022
