Although it's been a great experience so far, not everything was smooth sailing out of the box on my 15-inch M2 Air on GNOME, so I had to make a few adjustments, like:

Changing GRUB to recognize the notch and give me more screen real estate
Installing Just Perfection extension to move the time/date info out of the notch area
Fixed Bluetooth audio stuttering with this: https://github.com/christian-korneck/asahi-bt-a2dp-fix
Installed Toshy to remap keys as they are used in MacOS
Installed Quick Settings Tweaks to hide the microphone icon from the top bar (due to a bug, it always shows up red as if recording)

I'm wondering if anyone else has any other must-do tips after installing Asahi.

Install Widevine: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-asahi-remix/faq/#widevine
Fix notch/GNOME top bar height mismatch:

Install "User Themes" extension.

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/19/user-themes/

mkdir ~/.themes
cd ~/.themes && mkdir theme-name
cd theme-name && mkdir gnome-shell
cd gnome-shell && touch gnome-shell.css

Edit CSS file to include:

#panel {
    height: 35px; 
    }

Set your battery max charge to 80%. Because we don't have a deep sleep or hibernation yet, you'll either be powering down all the way, or spending a lot of time plugged in. Max charging to 100% all the time is a quick way to shorten your battery life.

Thanks! What tool are you using for this? I heard of this but haven't tried yet: https://maniacx.github.io/Battery-Health-Charging/

In Asahi Fedora Remix (KDE) the tool is built in:

I know you mentioned you're using GNOME so I don't know if its available in that Window Manager by default.

Is this working? Mine always gets reset to 100% after each reboot.

Edit: According to this post this is supposed to be fixed as of the latest update from a few days ago. Yay!
