Apparently they’re currently working on adding Vulkan support so that users of this will be able to play all the AAA Steam titles that don’t support macOS’ Metal API- and are also working on bringing this project to the Mac Pro. And the fact that they’ve done all of this by sheer reverse-engineering is very impressive.
I’ll try it out.. I’m loving macOS though.. coming from Nobara on a PC, the accuracy and smoothness of the cursor in Mac is ten fold better… not to mention quality of applications compared to the open source options on Linux (it’s nice to see free open source stuff, but when real work needs to get done, the big name and known applications just work better.. photoshop and premier for example).. and the features of MacOS like screen mirroring to AppleTV works incredibly well and as expected.. I was able to research auto insurance rates in the living room and my wife just watched what I was doing on the TV instead of needing to hover over my MacBook. I adore installing Linux on everything I can just to test distros and keep up with what’s going on in the Linux world.. but MacOS has definitely won me over in terms of polish, features, app availability, and security
@DanteS-119 depending on what you do in software, you can get by with macos. For anything that requires linux or would be better there, I usually have that work offloaded to an EC2 instance and just ssh into that
Ah, finally an honest review. Maybe it will work in a couple of years, but I have my doubts. And now, with the ARM chip on new PC, the Linux community will probably put their efforts there. Good luck...
Still waiting for those last 4 missing hardware features. Thunderbolt was one of the main reasons I upgraded to this machine (M1 air), and I use it every day for display and power. Logging in with TouchID, I can ignore. The microphone is also essential to many of us having to do video calls while traveling
I do not have enough space in my Macbook. So I want to install Asahi Linux on the external portable SSD / Drive. Is it possible? Please make a video on that.....
Apple Silicon Macs do not support booting external media. If you install macOS onto external media, it partitions your internal disk to add the required boot bits to your system. You can do the same with Asahi Linux. You can partition a relatively small partition that includes the Apple boot bits + m1n1. You need to select “m1n1+U-Boot+ESP” then you can setup Linux yourself (refer to Arch Wiki for details, though you will also need the Asahi repo. Arch Linux Arm and regular Arch Linux mostly differ, beyond architecture, in how they boot. As different ARM devices don’t follow the same standard with how they boot. But there is not much difference if you have a working UEFI that you can install GRUB in). Beyond that point you have free reign. You can have GRUB boot a system off USB or you could have the kernel stored locally and a (root) filesystem being mounted as directed by your fstab (and root= kernel parameter).
I have m1 air. I have tried linux asahi, vmware, parallels. Of all of them parallels is the best, although paid, linux runs very smoothly. But really that bare metal linux is really needed..🫠With the coming of x elite chips, support for arm arch will be in demand. Probably will also lead to cross arch virtualisation possible opening more oppurtunities to use the power of M chips.
The lack of Chromium sync on linux arm64 forced me back to macos, after using it for a while (less than a week) imo the main reason to stay in linux is the Finder and the limited file systems support....apple come on! Finder sucks!
Asahi is for arm chipped mac devices. You have intel chip so you don't need Asahi for linux. You can install it from a usb drive just like you would do on windows. You can even install windows on it.
you’re a presumably a native english speaker, you see the first three letters are “a-s-a”, and yet you pronounce the first syllable as “ash”??? please don’t disrespect the project like this. you can take the half of a second to read more carefully.

@DanteS-119 you’re probably right.. but I don’t work in coding at all so it’s a moot point for me personally

I finally have Linux 🐧on my macbook thanks to you i really hope i could learn Linux with this

Completely agree, I could never use it on my work machine, but my M1 personal laptop... its getting very close!
Nice video :) BUT Dosent work on Mac Mini M2 :(
No touch ID unlock is a no-go for me

hey i want to ask you one thing do we need any flash drive or usb drive while installing this os ?
Nope! It's all done via the installer from within macos
@@devwithzachary thanks mate just one question how is the performance ?

I am actually getting more fps in Linux than on MacOS. 280 vs 240 fps with sodium and other optimization mods.
Can asaihi linux access the mac osx files?
linux boot @ 13:04

Finder is so fucking dogshit.
The name is pronounced Asaahi Linux
I have issues installing Linux on macbook air i3 2020....I can't activate keyboard and mouse...what can I do?
Pray
@@henkondemandreally?!? No solution?
Isn’t asahi linux only for the M-series MacBooks?

@@Muhammed_Furkan_Yilmaz thank you 🙏 I tried but I couldn’t get trackpad and keypad running…I had to use with cable or Bluetooth..can u help me?
