Hold My Asahi: Linux on the Mac

Episode: 81

Published: 11/07/2023

Linux on Apple Hardware?!? Say it IS so!

Asahi Linux’s principal objective is to allow Linux to run on Apple Silicon. This is the M1, M2, M3 chips that are proprietary to Apple, but based on ARM and not x86. They���re also (probably) eventually the only chips you will get in consumer grade Apple compute products. As we will see, these chips are amazing. They���re also firmly planted in Apple���s walled garden. Asahi Linux aims to democratize the awesome but monopolized hardware platform and let you run Linux, instead of just OSX.

  • Apple’s chip architectures are so profoundly different that it is hard to compare them in an apples-to-apples manner.
  • Linus Torvalds himself said in 2020 that he���d love to use the hardware to run linux
  • But the project is getting attention and support from major distros- most recently Fedora
  • Just this past week, the Asahi team reported a bug that could leave hardware in a ���difficult to recover��� state due to changes made to OSX
  • The installation instructions are helpfully available on the Asahi webpage
  • The flagship version going forward will be Fedora Remix

  • Intro and outro music by James Bellavance copyright 2022
