If so how is it? I’m heavily considering grabbing an M1 and trying it out if it’s in a state where I can be productive.

For context, I use an M1 for work and it’s awful only thanks to macOS. The hardware is excellent though. I can run an army of containers for hours, I can have OBS running in the background if I need to quickly record something, and I can have 2-3 JetBrains IDEs running without skipping a beat.

But I truly cannot comfortably use macOS in my personal space. I don’t really want to go into my gripes with macOs; suffice to say it’s not a route I’m willing to explore any further.

That said, I’ve tried to keep up with Asahi Linux but have not seen very much feedback from those who are using it.

If you are using it I’d love to hear some feedback on what you like or dislike about it. Does all your hardware work? Do all your standard linux applications work?

Edit: I dont really know how crossposting works in the Fediverse. Sorry if this thread shows up twice

    It works alright but there are still issues. My biggest gripe with it is that sleeping doesn’t really work. I will often close my laptop and then come back to a dead laptop the next day because the battery drained all night.

      Ah yeah that’s pretty inconvenient. Does suspend work with a button push/shortcut, or is it broken altogether?

      Is that all? I can live with that! A few months ago that I checked there were a lot more open issues.

      I guess my biggest difficulty will be that the Macbook is my wife’s new laptop and she’ll kill me if I change the OS… again!
