In this episode, we cover the Asahi Linux project and provide an overview of the Apple Silicon boot ecosystem for developers and users of Linux, BSD, and other operating systems. This episode explains how these operating systems interoperate with Apple Silicon Macs (M1 and later), focusing on the secure boot process, user control, and how these machines are designed to be brick-proof and recoverable. The episode also discusses the different firmware components involved in the boot process, including the SecureROM, iBoot, and Secure Enclave Processor (SEP). It explains the boot flow, security modes, and how to install a custom kernel.
