hi, I’ve been pretty happy with macOS recently on my m1 MacBook, really only because I’ve been paying for software from awesome devs who make great apps (plenty are open source, so most I use are not paid) and I’ve found my productivity increase like a lot.

It’s like I’m fighting less with the computer and the OS, and sorta working together with it. Since it’s a mac though it’s still a pain. When I install things with brew or software straight from the dev I need to do this dance to be able to use it (since it’s from an ‘unidentified’ developer).

I wanted to try out Asahi, I saw that there was a new version released recently, any folks here who daily drive it and could share their experience? This is currently my main machine so I’m a bit hesitant in swapping over (I guess I could dual boot?) and school is out atm so I have a bit of time to troubleshoot and feel comfortable in a new environment.

thanks in advance~

EDIT: I am mostly familiar with Debian/ubuntu, I run stuff headless and SSH into it, like at the moment I have a proxmox 8 server and some raspberry pi’s that I use to host stuff. I have a windows 11 pc which I use for playing some games and to run certain kinds of software.

    Oh, I should have mentioned I never used macOS. The laptop went straight to Linux, so I can’t comment on the habbits.

    Now, Fedora Asahi is stable and perfectly fine as a daily driver as long as you don’t need the the microphone and thunderbolt.

    Installation is super easy. Just decide between KDE and GNOME.

    Edit: you could also install Fedora in a virtual machine to try things out beforehand.
