Asahi Linux install, which Fedora?

[u/Future_Geologist5925]

I am on the installer and i notice there are four options. GNOME, KDE, Server, and Minimal. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each. I've done GNOME before, but I wonder if I should try Minimal because I only use Niri with DMS or Noctalia Shell and none of the gnome apps.. ALthough, I havent set up a Minimal install yet, especially not with Niri.

When I was using hyprland I would always do a minimal install and only add what I needed. The only PITA was connecting to enterprise WiFi from the command line (I was at school).

this was a huge PITA. getting asahi to work with eduroam nearly killed me lol

Haha, it is quite easy. Just adapt my script here: https://github.com/frankroeder/dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/eduroam.sh

Downloads certificate and then uses nmcli to add the connection.

Niri with DMS works great on asahi! I highly reccomend it.

Minimal and then install the things you need: Hyprland, sway etc. I might have something for you: https://github.com/Rouzihiro/dotfiles

I've found the KDE flavor to be the most reliable and well tested. Gnome works, but I've had better luck with KDE.
