…for M1 Macs.
How To:
Asahi Linux Alpha Released
Xavier Ortiz
Gabriel Jenkins
nice, but im still sticking with mac os
Isaac Jackson
Wow can't wait to use a linux distro with buggy drivers and minimal support of the graphics hardware
Chase Jackson
Sounds like a worthwhile project
Here is what doesn't [work]
Caleb Mitchell
aaahahahah
Xavier Smith
Well it is an Alpha release.
Nolan Martinez
It is based on Arch, and as we all know Arch is for faggots and pedophiles, so I will stick with heterosexual white man’s OS: macOS.
Isaiah Rogers
all to end up with a less optimized, more buggier distro than OSX (UNIX based, daily reminder you only lose by using a distro on a mac)
Cameron Watson
the
>with buggy drivers and minimal support of the graphics hardware
part was redundant once you wrote "linux".
Cameron Hughes
Do you understand who the Alpha release is for?
Landon Ramirez
coping?
James Martinez
>UNIX based
No macfag who gloats about this actually takes advantage of it and knows how much it sucks as a Unix
>yeah I enjoy having eight different versions of Python installed
Nathaniel Smith
>sucks as a Unix
Suckage is inherent to Unix.
Jose Cruz
No, it’s not meant to be a duly driver, that’s the goal, but it isn’t there yet. This release is for developers. I think you may be retarded. Get yourself checked out man
Cameron Price
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
>some day it'll be ready for daily use
>two more weeks
Lincoln Martin
who made that logo? looks so awful.
Asher Carter
They've gotten pretty far in a year considering they're dealing with hardware that's completely alien to Linux. Most of the big ticket missing features like sleep, the DCP, the MacBook speakers, the GPU, etc. are in progress. Macs were well supported by Linux once and there's no reason to think they won't be again.
James Martin
Is some idiot paying these people developers salaries to work on this or are they doing it for free?
Ryder Parker
Marcan is getting paid to work on it full time through Patreon and GitHub donations. As far as I can tell, everyone else doing it as a hobby.
Noah Thomas
I have a m1 from work and installed it. Extremely half assed and broken. Barely anything works. Went back to my standard GNU/Linux thinkpad.
Jayden Sullivan
>completely alien to Linux.
No it's not. M1 is not really that different on the SoC level from a typical ARM SoC. It's the proprietary accelerator bits, including the GPU, that are problematic, which is also the case on other ARM SoCs. There is a reason almost every ARM smartphone is full of proprietary drivers. That's why Android "ROMs" are almost exclusively using the original vendor-supplied kernel.
Alexander Cooper
>yeah I enjoy having eight different versions of Python installed
virtualenv for python
rbenv for ruby
nvm for node
gvm for go
and many such cases, are you a noob?

Owen Sullivan
>virtualenv for python
Virtualenv is not for having different versions of Python, but for having multiple environments with different packages installed.
Pyenv is for multiple versions of Python, and pyenv-virtualenv is a combination of both.

Gotta get more years, Mr. "Developer".
