Anyone running Linux on their M1 (or M2) Mac?

Here to share my journey.

https://asahilinux.org/ with Fedora is working really well, but got some annoyances due to the limited software available for aarch64.

The good things are:

- I learn to compile more things - looking at you Signal and Keybase

- Power efficiency and shared memory without the closed garden

- Fedora seems to be a very good distro (coming from Debian)

- Webcam, speakers, USBC ports just work

The (not so) bad so far:

- will think twice what software worth the hassle and no closed source stuff is available to build

- will need to master some emulators like qemu and Box86/Box64

- The built-in microphone hasn't been reverse-engineered yet

- Fingerprint sensor won't work

I know someone who rocks nixos on apple silicon. They have a lot of software packaged for arm. Look into it :)
