Got a free macbook air, with M1 chip. Evidently cannot wipe and install a *nix OS on it (correct me), so just updating to Big Sur for now. Is there a better way/use? Is there a halfway decent terminal replacement?
Might put Start9 on a VM
Want to do something smart with it
Thoughts?

hiii not really related but wanted to ask
why choose start9 for your preferred home server? I'm trying to figure out what I should use and nothing seems to fit my use case enough.
Thankssss
Better than umbrel 🤙🏼
all I needed to hear
ty
btw, just tried it out wasn't able to get cloudflared or tailscale installed on it persistently
do you use anything like that that works?
I suggested start9 because of my poor experience with umbrel staying connected, forcing hard resets every few days. When it was working, though, the tailscale worked pretty well
i got tailscale working, but had to try twice.
any tips? I legit could not figure it out
what do I even need to do?? it's actually insane the normal ssh isn't even persistent -_-
I really didnt know I was doing and just followed instructions.
and the second time it just worked as long as you have both the client and the server setup together. where are you stuck?
I kept getting stuck on having tailscale stay after rebooting
I didn't know how to properly use the scripts like upgrade-and-chroot or add-apt-source or wtv
I couldn't find any documentation or help for any of this it sucked so baddd
i dont recall having to use any scripts when i did it. Just installed it on start9 from the marketplace.
whatttt no way
with the official marketplace or did you find a different one?! I didn't see it there
Check out https://asahilinux.org/about/
Seems still very much WIP
Cool thanks!
If any Linux alternative would do, your only option is https://asahilinux.org/about/. There are some remixes as well, e.g. https://asahilinux.org/fedora/.
You can try asahi Linux then run start9 but i haven’t played too much with it
