very based
personally grateful as i daily drive asahi linux
posting this comment from an m2 macbook pro running fedora asahi
The only reason I'm not buying an M series macbook is because I thought there's no Linux support, have things changed? Is it all unofficial?
support is neither official (by apple) nor unofficial (a hack), you can install other operating systems to apple silicon macs without any jailbreaks/hacks, but linux was ported by a community team
only m1 and m2 are properly supported
m3 is WIP, m4 is very WIP, m5 and m6 idk if are even started
*acided.
