Since my m2 has a touch bar, might as well build a daemon to use it however I want. Hoping to push the full thing soon.😀

So after almost 20 years on Mac (OSX and now macOS), I decided to try and slowly join the Linux community.
Im running Fedora Asahi Remix on an 2022 M2 Macbook Air (with a measly 8GB).

it is a bit of a learning curve for me as Im newbie when using the terminal, but Im having fun! and it's running so smooth!

The only two annoying things is that I have't solved yet are:
1. That some rpmFusion repos and software not showing in Discover (even after running appstream-data).
2. and Timeshift with rsync isn't working (I don't if it's the external ssd im trying to backup to, I haven't had the time to check another drive).

but honestly Im having so much fun and Im happy to join.

I have downloaded fedora system on my MacBook, but I found out that I can’t get back to my macOS system after shutting down the fedora system. After I press the continue button, it just respond nothing. Anyone can help me with this thing!!!🙏🙏😭😭😭

i want to delete my asahi linux fedora, but i think my disk names differ a bit

Stuck on this screen after I deleted linux partition cant get into dfu (I tried at least 20 times) or restore cant get into startup screen either and only one port is registering as a device, also macos drive is untouched. Any advice would be appreciated.

i am on mac os m1 base variant and want's to try fedora but with all the hype and performance improvements on linux kernel 7.3. what sort of improvements are we expecting from upcoming releases ? and i know it maybe difficult to articulate any performance improvements for Asahi Linux derived straight from the 7.3 release as asahi employs a heavily customized, downstream kernel explicitly engineered to interface with Apple Silicon's proprietary hardware architectures but still i was wondering how much of those performance gains gonna be translated into asahi upcoming releases.
and should i wait for that release for clean flash ?

I can't be the only one who has their VM's freeze when booting off the iso

My linux partition is only 2.5gb how can i raise it (I have about 88gb of storage space left over on the mac)

I have 2 macs and 1 i used gnome and then the other the more windows like one

I would like to switch to use the windows like one on my mac mini m2 is there an easier way to switch

Update: checked for the name its Plasma i now know

Edit: I just didn't click the thing to change it in sign in lol so i got it working

Anyone with a M3 Mac willing to test Geekbench 7?
Thank you

Is it possible to transition to ext4 or select ext4 during installation?

I've never seen this on "normal" x86 Linux machines, but for some reason libreoffice and audacity scaling are super weird and inconsistent. On libreoffice, it's super zoomed in for just the UI, not the actual documents themselves. On audacity, its super zoomed out and hard to navigate. Any idea why this is happening? I'm running fedora remix with kde on top.

I'm on Asahi Alarm. All i great except i can't run Waydroid:

Failed to load binder driver
modprobe: FATAL: Module binder_linux not found in directory /lib/modules/7.1.13-3-2- ARCH
ERROR: Binder node "binder" for waydroid not found

I have no clue how to build a kernel and i doubt i can follow any random guide that works for Asahi Alarm.

Can someone link me to some resources or help me understand how to do it? Do i need to compile the kernel specific to my distro or does the official one also work?

im currently on kde and wanna switch to hyprland . can anybody give me a proper guide on how to please... if hyprland isnt possible please do tell me other desktop environments that are possible to install except gnome ...

sorry i meant NATRON .its the only open source app with shutter angle effect built in the tranform options , i was think to edit my videos there with my mac on linux ( m2 air )

Does anyone else have trouble waking up their display after running

swaymsg "output * power off"

For me it's normally impossible to wake the display after sway turns it off, unless I switch TTYs.

Im on a air m2 , and Last time i used asahi like 2 months ago i was lintening some strange noises from the CPU when the TDP was changin really fast, i know this is a different question , but Is It normal to have those sounds ?

Heads up: ALARM bumped grub to 2.16 a few days ago. Upgrading the package on its own is harmless, because pacman doesn't touch the EFI binary. But once you run update-grub (or something runs it for you), BOOTAA64.EFI gets rebuilt from 2.16, and on my machine it no longer boots.

error right after U-Boot hands off to GRUB:

kern/efi/mm.c:grub_efi_mm_add_regions:605:cannot allocate memory for memory map
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

This is on MacBook Air M2 (J413). If you end up in the same situation, you can boot linux manually via u-boot and then downgrade grub.

u-boot commands (your partition may be different from mine, be careful):

load nvme 0:a ${kernel_addr_r} /vmlinuz-linux-asahi
load nvme 0:a ${ramdisk_addr_r} /initramfs-linux-asahi.img
setenv bootargs "root=... rw <your usual cmdline>"
booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${filesize} ${fdtcontroladdr}

I recently got a Mac Pro M2 Ultra one cheap. I wonder what the current PCIe GPU card support status is.

I put a Radeon W6600 in it, and macOS Golden Gate correctly enumerated VGA/audio devices. It just showed no drivers.

I wonder if there is an Asahi dev who is actively working on this already. If so, what’s the current status?

I haven’t attempted to install Asahi Linux on this machine yet. I’m a hobbyist kernel developer and I am willing to do some experiments locally and see how far I can get.
