 Since macOS was really not my cup of tea, I installed @4d1b32f3 on my M1 MacBook Pro.

While I was expecting it to be alpha quality and very buggy, I was surprised to find a pretty great level of support for the hardware!

So here are my impressions, in video form: everything that works, what doesn’t work yet, and how to get it up and running:

 @39c11d1e @4d1b32f3 Great video! At this point, I'm holding off on updating my M1 Mac Mini -- the sound would be a deal breaker; but it looks very promising!

 @39c11d1e @4d1b32f3 Lovely, I'm hoping to buy a MacBook myself one day and run Linux on an ARM chip.

As ever, a great video from you, Nick! 💙

Asahi has definitely come a long way since the project started, and I'm so excited (as an owner of an M2 MacBook Pro) to eventually, some day, be able to use Linux on here *full time.*

Keep us updated on the progress every once in a while, too!

 @39c11d1e @4d1b32f3 My work laptop is an M1 Mac. The hardware is sturdy and battery life is good but the UI is awful. The file manager too. If they'd just let users run a Linux desktop environment it would be perfect.
