@stx got a used m2 MacBook for xmas (bought myself ;-) ) and am going to install #asahilinux on it by end of this year. As I own a #Debian Intel laptop as a daily driver since years I am curious to see fedora/asahi working on that Mac as a possible replacement. My expectations are not too high:
1. Email, delta.chat, signal, teamviewer
2. Libreoffice, chromium, firefox
3. Virtual manager (windows #VM)
4. #Luanti
5. Prism launcher for #Minecraft
As an add-on several #ham radio apps could be nice.

Installed Asahi Linux on my Mac Mini, installation all good and smooth but bit of a faff to switch OS through the power button and I can't seem to get it understand my key mapping is Swiss German so that's not great. Will try again when it supports an MX MacBook as that's likely to be a lot less hassle. Was only really to see if I could get Steam running on it anyway.
UPDATE: The fix did not work, my BT audio is back to stutering, and I need to reboot my machine every time I connect or disconnect an external HDMI cable.
#asahilinux is a seriously amazing project and I love the dedication and hard work that's gone into it, but I'm afraid running it at my dayjob is not in the cards right now.
Time to slink back to MacOS and see how close I can get it to what I'm doing everywhere else with keybinds :P
If anyone else is having problems with #bluetooth #audio stuttering horribly on the latest #asahilinux - I applied this wireplumber fix and it cured my problems.
You can beat me up for using #Claude after you get your audio working again :)
