Owww, but he says it so confidently though. I bet he's gonna double down and stand firm on his pronunciation. Repeat after me, ah-shy... ah-shy... she-she lolz
I love his channel but I don't think I've ever seen him pronounce a name properly. I'm partially convinced he does it on purpose are those point to generate comments to hack the algorithm...
And here I wiped Windows from the ssd of my old laptop and installed Pop OS on one half and Hackintosh Big Sur on the other.. Both work better than Windows, which came preinstalled😂
Why anyone would pay the humongous price for a MacBook with perfect optimization with the macOS, and then uninstall said os to install a broken Linux distro is beyond me...
What the point? My i7-1165G7 laptop that i buyed for 80% of mac price dec 2020 do 1678/5759 in geekbench, and i dont need to wait support or bust my ass to simply run arch. It runs 5-6 hrs active usage, i think it will fulfill every user, ARM powered computers is just advertising farce.
@@TechHut why not ? mac book can be restore download the image again and burn it in a USB and boot again since there is a moment mac OS doesn't going to update more.
Hi, is this still possible? I just followed your steps but when it came to partitioning I got an error Failed to run process: diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 349999988736 root : ERROR Process execution failed
BIONC a parallel processing app. Even if you install it on apples OS, it can't access the GPU. Whoever can reverse engineer the GPU drivers to run on other platforms will win the holy grail prize. It took a long time to get Nvidia drivers to work "properly" on linux. AMD was better. But, I don't really think apple wants it's users using it's hardware for anything but APPLE. I hope in the future apple will give access to it's GPU side. Maybe more people would run apple devices for crypto mining and other things. I think this would help apple sell more hardware if they opened the source code for all, even if people were installing windows and linux on their devices. GPU Access on Apple Devices: As of now, Apple tightly controls GPU access on its devices. It primarily restricts access to the GPU for third-party applications on macOS, limiting their ability to utilize the full potential of the GPU for certain tasks. This approach is primarily aimed at maintaining security, stability, and ensuring optimal performance for Apple's software ecosystem. Reverse Engineering GPU Drivers: Reverse engineering GPU drivers is a complex task and often involves legal and technical challenges. GPU manufacturers invest significant resources in developing drivers that are compatible with specific operating systems and hardware configurations. While it is possible to develop alternative drivers or workarounds, it requires expertise, substantial effort, and potentially violates intellectual property rights. Impact on Apple's Hardware Sales: The decision to allow greater GPU access or open-sourcing the code would depend on various factors, including Apple's business strategy, market demand, and technological considerations. Opening up GPU access could attract a broader range of developers and users, potentially expanding the appeal of Apple's hardware. However, it is essential to balance this with the potential risks of security vulnerabilities and the need to maintain control over the user experience. Future Possibilities: Apple's approach to GPU access and openness may evolve over time based on market dynamics and user demands. As technology advances and the landscape changes, Apple might consider alternative strategies that provide more flexibility while ensuring the integrity of their ecosystem.
I use Asahi Linux on my Mac Mini for Plex (2 x 14tb hdd, torrent, plex, radarr, sonarr, jackett, ombi, vaultwarden, nginx, pi-hole) and it's using like 4gb RAM. It's incredible how much difference an OS can do.
With projects like these it often comes down to how many people have access to the expensive hardware. I'm sure more volunteers would contribute with development if they had access to the hardware.
FANTASTIC. Thanks for your great video Brandon. I am wondering if Linux could beat Apple at its own game by providing *better* battery life than MacOS.
@Watcher It has mostly been neglected by software developers, just like it's still a thing with Windows for arm. Linux itself works great on arm, and the community has done a great job of compiling open source software for arm.
Apple made no attempted to stop Linux. They even document the steps necessary to bootstrap the hardware. And Linux is already well supported on the ARM64 arch. So it's really not that surprising. Just needed some minimal drivers. The real hurdle is going to be GPU support. That's a LONG way off. It will likely never happen. I think Apple knows this.
@@xynyde0 Right? They even want to get WIndows running on bare metal M1 but Microsoft in the one blocking it. Not that Windows 11 ARM is particularly useful to anyone, but eh, it exists.
#AppleDerangementSyndrome Hating on Apple is cool in the tech community it seems. Should channel your hate towards Intel/MS/Nvidia as well while you are at it. They aren’t exactly the best corporate citizens of the world for those who actually follow tech. But your hate blinded you all because Apple is worth $3T. Big big Apple. Apple Evil 🤷🏻♂️
@@RunForPeace-hk1cu all big tech is evil, make no mistake. But sometimes apple makes amazing software and hardware that helps offset some of that hate.
By the way, I use Arch... on an M1 MacBook If you're not interested in this try some virtualization! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hnwK-nkXolc.html
I hope Asahi receives its own ASCII logo in neofetch. This project is amazing even to me who will never buy an Apple system because it shows that the M1 indeed can do more than what Apple wants it to do. Plus the M1 as much as I hate to admit it (especially since I knew this would happen) makes ARM on the desktop more popular. Until we have Raspberry Pis back in stock for more than 5 minutes or the framework becomes more interesting, I stick with my ThinkPads.
@@lolololo-fs2po yes MacOS 10.15.7 is wicked fast on my 2012 MBP but slower on Monterey 12.3 even after patching. Because Monterey doesn’t a lot more things than Catalina behind the scenes. Linux GUI is simplistic and nothing close the the polish product like MacOS or Windows with decades and billions and tons of features added over time. Linux has none of that baggage. It has a fraction of the features of them This is why Linux is excellent for server systems but terrible in consumer space
@@lolololo-fs2po erm yes. The reason you can install a version of Linux on a 20 year old laptop and have it run “quick” is because the distros that support that don’t actually do anything 🤣
Very impressive! I love this laptop hardware-wise, I think this has the potential to be a very long-term device to enjoy especially when using Linux, which is known for its pretty never-ending support and optimization efforts. And in the last few days Apple announced M2 variant (next-gen basically) so this one above will be available very soon "used" for a very good price. I mean, especially the display is really something to enjoy, but also the rest of the platform is just so appealing to me. I've always wanted ARM laptop with premium feel, sadly Macbook Air Mx is the only way for now. I can't imagine running MacOS so fingers crossed to Asahi team for delivering 100% working port for everyday use!
@@xynyde0 last time I watched Smith he was pretty much just copying 4chan's technology board's trends back then and actually trying to live like a linux hermit. He does have some good content, I like his thinkpad librebooting video.
Thanks for the video. I still actually don't understand a good use case for linux on mac since mac is already a unix based system. I need to be really convinced to switch, someone change my mind please lol. Also, you can use CMD + Space Bar to bring up spotlight btw, that's basically just two thumbs. Also, I noticed you haven't riced up your mac (YET!), at least I keep my terminal unix-porn worthy XD. Allssooo, how do I properly uninstall this after using.
my best guess would be for gaming since steam and arch Linux are a thing. you might be able to run Volkan and proton so you wont have to spend money on stupid Microsoft virtualization software which would make the macbook pro the best gaming laptop ever made but idk if that would actually work
If you have an older Mac or PC where software updates are no longer provided it means you can run a current Linux OS and still use the device securely. Also it reduces electronic waste.
It's great news! But I think some lenovo x1 gen 9 or some zenbook much better to be chosen for using Linux. 6 months ago I am buy MacBook air 16/512 for work and that cool hardware/software solution and that cool synergy hardware/software solution. However, still, now I think any notebook is a much better capability for linux. I love linux, but still... Notebook need for me for working, but not deal with hard - software problems.
Hi there, can you run Linux off external SSDs? My school requires Linux but I got the base model storage and want to buy a separate NVMe ssd just for Linux ✌🏻
If you mean the touchpad gestures, at 12:42 he shows scrolling which suggests that it's at least supported as far as drivers goes. KDE doesn't have support for 3+-finger gestures yet (as far as I'm aware), but it may work using Touchégg. Maybe just going with GNOME+Wayland also works; I don't know if that's usable on a configuration without graphics acceleration, though.
Great video! So inspiring! Keep up the amazing work! 💪🔥🙌 I managed to install Ubuntu on my Macbook Pro M1 and dual boot it with the latest macOS (Sonoma). These are the issues that need to be fixed: 1. anyone else experiencing this issue with the touch bar? It's so frustrating! It's just blank and when I touch it, it goes all crazy and starts highlighting text randomly. 2. right click is totally busted, except when I use my mouse. And don't even get me started on trying to copy stuff with control + c or command + C, especially when I'm in the terminal. It's so frustrating! Anyone else experiencing this? 🤔 3. Bluetooth sound quality is so bad, it's like listening to a potato. And don't even get me started on the unstable connection.
When a flavor gets every driver down I will absolutely dual-boot. I may need to upgrade to bough as I only bought a base m1. In my defense.. this was to be a placeholder while I waited for 12th gen Intel. I ended up really enjoying Mac OS and the Air so I never upgraded. I should spent the extra $400 on upgraded RAM and SSD. We live, we learn. 🤷♂️
Truly awesome project & you covered it much better than I have seen on some other channels too. I am not really sure why there is the whole "why would you want Linux on a Mac" argument- Sure, if you hate Apple & don't want to buy their hardware, that's cool.. frying eggs on your cpu is a valid option. But, if you like the M1 & particularly if you want a desktop machine, an M1 Mac Mini is essentially a bargain & gives great performance.. so you can have your cake & eat it too.
i mean i don't hate you for putting linux on m1, your system, your money, your choise, i just don't get it. why install linux for production work, when everything production wise available for linux is also available on macos and it comes preinstalled. i mean, what CAN you do on linux that you can't do on macos directly? why not just use a rpi 4? sure, it's less powerfull, but also way less expensive.
@@core36 comparing a rpi to an M1 is not really even a comparison, there is no way I could run a development environment on an rpi. Most applications are available on MacOS, but definitely not all of what can be used on Linux (a lot of FOSS applications have to be substituted with paid apps) & a Linux DE can be light years lighter weight than MacOS can be. Also, tiling window managers are essentially non-existent for MacOS (can be done, to a degree- but awful). I definitely love MacOS, don’t get me wrong, but if I can have the power & flexibility of Linux, then I will choose that 95% of the time. Freedom of choice can mean a lot of different things, to different people. Motivation may be security, flexibility, supporting FOSS & more- so having the choice is a huge leap forward, for a select group of users.
my network and macbook have been hacked by bluetooth global or something as of Sept 15, it has I can't count the plugins I have Exec , or Unix is installed and I want it gone.. My Netbios tell me my computor is being used by someone else, my wifi is all messed up they are in my iphone, turning my bluetooth on when i
Nice to have fun with Linux on this macbook nothing more than that. this is better than OSX? funny , apple where writing code to this hardware. most work but GPU acceleration is not working :). run linux on servers and nothing more
Well, i'm running Linux Mint on my Intel MacBook Air (Late 2017 (Refresh 2015 model)) and it won't even allow me to re-install macOS since Apple kinda screwed it up with their "locking" feature (that was intended to make the device unuseful for thieves, not the owner; actually...) And it runs perfectly fine. It's interesting to see that an M1 Mac can run Linux natively without necessarily being in need of a VM or something alike. Didn't know Apple allowed it to install different systems on these machines at all. But i'm pretty sure using a regular UEFI USB stick wouldn't work so it's kinda limited still.
Another, interesting development: I finally decided to attempt the install one more time... and when I pressed the 'f'' key to install on free space ...I got en error message that the space the installation engine created was too small!!!! Alright, alright, that's the end. Period. {smh}
Why last version of Mac OS this is suppose to work on any Mac lol like if you Mac m1 still good but not longer update you still maybe be able to install linux on it
Great video. I wanted to watch the actual install process before doing it for real and your video was perfect for that. This has brought up a few questions I was hoping you could answer or may have some insight or an opinion on: 1) The System Integrity Protection (SIP) was set to permissive for this install, reducing overall security. My macOS install is using FileVault, would it still remain secure? I assume so, but would be easier for an attacker to run some additional tools to hack/crack it. 2) Can the System Integrity Protection (SIP) be set back to full security after the installation of Asahi and everything still function as normal in both macOS and Asahi? Maybe Asahi would break after that and no longer boot or be available to boot until put back into permissive mode? 3) Did you or are you going to or need to set the System Integrity Protection (SIP) back to full security once Asahi was removed? 4) Is the Asahi install encrypted or is the option to encrypt it there? Can it do this without a passphrase at boot?
Somebody help!! I am on the second part of the setup and after I press y for to custom boot object, it says username. What do I put in? I put in my username and it said “kmutil failed. Did you mistype your password?” Then I put in my password and it said the same thing
