Can’t stand the MacOS UI philosophy and built in software. Gotta skip. The hardware is pretty good though.

This is the biggest pickle for me. Mx Macbook Airs are pretty amazing, but Asahi is just not there, and I don't think it will ever be without Apple playing ball a little bit unfortunately. (I'm currently on a t2/intel macbook and it's got more quirks that I care to deal with...but it was free so gotta do what I gotta do)

  • Yeah that’s sad. Mac hardware with a Linux Os with proper drivers is the dreamland. Asahi is good for M1 though I heard?

    • Maybe for some people, I don't have the capacity to deal with that kind of thing willingly anymore. Stability and knowing I won't be running into some missing feature that may never get fixed/added. It's too small of a project and it's a major uphill battle having to reverse engineer literally everything. I do commend them but it's just too many question marks for wanting a reliable daily driver.
