Ewen Bell 📸Regular reminder for anyone who might have an Apple Silicon based Mac that Asahi Linux is a thing and a good thing. It's not just Intel Macs that can play nice with Linux.I love my little M1 Macbook Air. It's great hardware and never gets overheated. But sometimes I need to play with Linux instead of MacOS.Asahi installation was able to hive off a small partition during setup to dual-boot. It's very smooth and makes for a great desktop. I've got Firefox and LibreOffice and even Proton VPN running nice. It's ready for prime time.Am sending this toot from Asahi Linux right now :)<a href="https://asahilinux.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://asahilinux.org/</a><a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/asahilinux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AsahiLinux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/linux" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/linuxonmac" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxOnMac</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ewenbell.com/tag/applesilicon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AppleSilicon</a>

Oliver Giel · GIEL BildweltenSo, nächstes <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> Testprojekt gestartet.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a> auf einer zweiten Partition neben <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MacOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacOS</a> auf meinem <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MacBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacBook</a> installiert. Bisher läuft das alles sauber und macht eine ziemlich guten Eindruck. Also wenn man nicht auf eine spezielle Software angewiesen ist, die unter Linux nicht läuft, gibt es kaum einen Grund den Schritt zu Linux nicht zu wagen.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linuxonmac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linuxonmac</a>

Photo Ewen 📷Asahi Linux uses DNF. It's essentially Fedora with the extra trimmings to make it Apple Silicon friendly.Managed to install ProtonVPN after translating their cryptic instructions. Their CLI example didn't work for Asahi but pretending you have Fedora gets it over the hurdle.Now just need to convince UpNote that Linux also runs on non-Intel hardware.<a href="https://photog.social/tags/AsahiLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AsahiLinux</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/LinuxOnMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LinuxOnMac</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/Upnote" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Upnote</a>

Photo Ewen 📷Asahi Linux is working very nicely on my little M1 MacBook Air. I wanted a clean environment that I could trust as secure.Maybe I'll be inspired to spend a little more time writing code, updating the website, and tinkering with some FOSS.It's very fast. Very clean. Mastodon looks peachy in my Firefox browser too :)<a href="https://asahilinux.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://asahilinux.org/about/</a><a href="https://photog.social/tags/AsahiLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AsahiLinux</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/LinuxOnMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LinuxOnMac</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/FOSSisGood" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#FOSSisGood</a> <a href="https://photog.social/tags/AppleSilicon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#AppleSilicon</a>

Christian AlvarezFor you Linux nerds out there: The time I installed Pop!_OS on my wife’s 2014 MacBook Air sometime around 2022. It ran surprisingly well on this old hardware, but sadly had to abandon this distro for something a bit more lightweight which was Linux Mint. I’m sure that the 4 GB of RAM didn’t help! Maybe someday I’ll revisit that distro. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PopOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PopOS</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Linuxonmac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linuxonmac</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MacBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacBook</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MacBookAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MacBookAir</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#foss</a>

Kelvin n0mql EN35ldA couple months ago, I had an SSD crash in my <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/HamRadio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HamRadio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/Windows10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows10</a> PC.Been working to get most mode options back on <a href="https://mastodon.hams.social/tags/LinuxOnMac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxOnMac</a> instead. So far, so good. Not complete, but enough to stay occupied.Today, 2nd power outage in 2 weeks. My "main" PC did not come back up afterwards. HDD crash.So I presently have zero Windows machines, just like was the case about 7 years ago.I may give it up, & only run Win in an EC2 instance if needed.
