How’s Linux running on ARM for you, and what distribution?
Is there more than 1?
There are several different distro's built on asahi IIRC, asahi is more of a Mac platform for distro's than a distro itself if I understand the project correctly.
Correct, from the Asahi Linux website:
I only know this because I've been seriously looking into running Linux on my M2 MacBook Air and trying to peel myself out of the Apple ecosystem but found there isn't many options right now where everything works -- especially TouchID. I'm not new to Linux, I just needed dependability and stability that I always seemed to mess up in my Linux days in the late 2000's/early 2010's and got sick of Windows.
Asahi is not only a distribution but a modified kernel which in theory can be added to nearly any Linux distribution
I have definitely looked into Asahi awhile ago, and knew that was the big one. It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that’s the only one, but didn’t know if maybe there were more.
~~Most distros build for ARM now.~~ Disregard, I just realized we're talking about Macs. 🤦
