Kicked macOS to the Curb and Installed Asahi Fedora Gnome

Most of the switching posts are from frustrated windows users making the jump. I’m already a Linux user on my server (Ubuntu for now, going Debian at some point) and a 2014 iMac for tinkering/testing (KDE Neon), and a couple of raspberry pis (raspberry pi os headless) but our main household computer is an M1 Mac mini that my...

@radix @MrSoup yeah … Apple didn’t release any specs for their stuff so the @AsahiLinux team had to reverse engineer everything.

Partial upgrade to xubuntu 24.04 from 23.10, FS only accessible in recovery mode as root + wifi may be down. Help appreciated

before the issue, wifi app was configured not to start automatically because I sometimes change the mac after logging in. I usually enable it afterwards with iftop and then systemctl start NetworkManager.service && sudo nm-applet...

@ceciline02 in a recovery mode what is the error when you try to mount the file system?

@ceciline02 when you execute those commands — not even sure if this would help — does dmesg say anything? Even before you go to mount them on boot maybe dmesg might say something about the disks? Or any log in var log?

@ceciline02 you can pipe dmesg into less I think. Dmesg | less and then use the forward slash to search but also you can use the up and down arrows to go up and down.

@gregorum @jjlinux newer packages and it wasn’t arch. Plus I like dnf.

The future of desktop Linux might be like OpenSUSE Kalpa/Aeon

I’ve been running Tumbleweed for a few years now. It’s great, but it’s not 100% autopilot, updates often require manual intervention (resolving small problems) or updates try to add 50 packages I don’t need (recommends) all the time despite them not being in a pattern. I’ve been looking for a distro on which I could...

@boredsquirrel @swooosh not having to reboot would make this finally useable to me!

This photo was sent my way by someone who knows I work in security. I don’t know where it was taken or who deserves credit. (The tickets appear to name a pub).

But I’d sure love to see this kindness replicated. Widely. It’s critically needed & warms my heart. ❤️

@Sheril I love this. I love this so much.

@pukeko that’s wonderful to hear. I got an M3 max (a huge stupid purchase I agonized about for a month before convincing myself I earned it lol) coming in just 10 or so days. But M3 support is behind M2 for now. And I don’t fault them for it. I’ll wait patiently for it to work.

My dream would be a finger print reading immutable Fedora running Sway with full disk ZFS encryption.
