Attached: 1 image the #asahilinux stickers I ordered for #xdc2025 finally arrived. The reds are not well matched but at least the fruit is gone. I wanted to do that for years.

After tinkering around with #AsahiLinux and #UbuntuAsahi on the M1 Mac Mini, I got my feel. Both were pretty neat but I was having issues with both of them not waking/freezing after putting the mini to sleep/suspension. Kind of a deal breaker, even for tinkering purposes, for me.

The Mac Mini has been restored to stock Sequoia and the main drive restored to full capacity.

Upside to all the #shenanigans is that I got the Mac back to a UI that is easier on the eyes. Cheers to usable UI!
Asahi Linux with Sway on the MacBook Air M2

I bought a MacBook Air M2. As of writing, it's very affordable with the 16 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 13.6" model available for $750. As of writing, also Asahi Linux doesn't support anything newer than M2.

@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.

I’ll be in Hamburg on sunday afternoon (day 2 of #39c3) and open for an informal #asahilinux meetup outside of the congress

What a nice early Christmas present! atcphy was just picked up from LKML 🥳: https://lore.kernel.org/asahi/176651191159.759340.7918107926279417342.b4-ty@kernel.org/T/#t

KDE Internet of Things Development Restarted For Home Assistant Integration

Announced one year ago was KDE Internet of Things 'Kiot' with an emphasis on providing nice integration between the KDE Plasma desktop and Home Assistant for handling open-source home automation

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.

#asahilinux

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

#sadpanda

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 :)
