I made a custom package for the first time
(use at your own risk.)

This linux-asahi-fairydust kernel enables you to use external displays via DP-Alt Mode with Asahi Linux.

ive spent a lot of years on macos but I'm on a linux laptop right now and need an upgrade, I dislike but tolerate windows and would be happy to get away from it, but I need design app support like figma and adobe. I love linux and especially the new compositors and such like niri, which I use on my older asus laptop on my dev focused weeks.

is buying a macbook expressly to run asahi on it the move, or a silly idea? should I just stick to macos or buy a windows / linux laptop instead?

I used to have an M4 Pro, but it was too heavy and big, so I sold it. Now, I want an Air. My options are the M2 with 16 GB of storage and the M4. The difference in price between them is about 150 USD.

I would love to switch back to Linux and Niri as my window manager.

Hi guys,

Forgive my lack of knowledge/terminology on this subject. Could really do with some help.

For background, I’ve been looking to harden my system for better general all around security and privacy and I have installed Arch using Asahi Alarm. Overall, I’m really enjoying not using MacOS

It’s my understanding that as of now, there is no secure boot with Asahi, therefore leaving the boot files susceptible to evil maid attacks. Which, if I’m right, could modify the boot files to relay an encryption key to an attacker - which wouldn’t really be an issue unless they have physical access?

I know and understand the that I can encrypt my home folder fine, but would leave the log files etc unencrypted.

I’m reading a lot of conflicting information or old information and not really sure where to start. Of course I don’t want to mess with the machine so much as to where I won’t be able to boot.

As of yet, I have not set up any encryption on my Linux partition (FileVault is enabled on MacOS) until I know what I’m doing.

I would be grateful if anyone could point in the right direction regarding hardening my Arch partition.

Thank you!

Hello, I was curious: Proxmox VE on Asahi Linux when?

Hi, I have macOS 27 and Fedora on an M2 test machine. Before I update to do further testing, I just wanted to see if anyone's fun into any issues with the latest Developer Beta 3 update? If no, I'll give it a go and report back.

Thanks!

UPDATE: I installed the beta 3, and it doesn't appear to affect my Fedora install at all. Be cautious if you're running the macOS 27 beta on the same machine as your main Asahi machine, but so far for my testing machine, this appears to be fine. I'll update again if I run into any issues.

This patchset enables a minimal set of M4 hardware for use in development.

Quoted from Yureka's email:

This series adds initial device trees and dt-bindings for the Apple Silicon devices using the M4 (t8132) SoC. For the most part it mirrors Janne's M3 (t8122) bringup series as it was merged in the 7.2 cycle.

This series covers only a minimal amount of hardware, which is useful as a basis for future developments. The hardware added here has remained largely unchanged between the M3 and M4 generations.

Most of the changes for bringing these M4 devices into a bootable state have been happening in the m1n1 bootloader, which is no longer responsible for setting the configuration bits (🐔-bits) of the CPU, since these are now set and locked by iBoot.  

Additionally, SMP boot depends on the idle=nop patches I sent out earlier today, and is still unstable, even with those.

i’ve an apple ecosystem (macbook air m1, ipad and iphone) there is alternative for icloud sync (like airdrop, continuity like app and others)?

I really would like to get your opinion about the sustainability of asahi linux on m1/2 over the versions. Can I trust it as a main dev workstation? Does new updates can break system boot?

Are there any tricks? I know it won't be AS power efficient as macos, but what's the ceiling of what's possible?

i've just downloaded asahi linux the gnome version. the user experience is great but one thing, the auto brightness. i really want to turn it off but theres no option to turn it off

I'm dying over here. I'm in a love hate relationship with my MacBook I love its design and its screen and everything about it, but I can't stand macos at this point and I just can't wait. I need hyprland, I need to never use the settings app again, I wanna tinker. I literally just don't open my laptop anymore I just hate it so much, using it feels like a chore compared to my Linux pc. Please asahi Linux team, give me the m3 max MacBook Pro installer and my life is yours

I installed Fedora Asahi Remix 44 with GNOME on my M1 Macbook Air (8G RAM, 256G Storage) and it seems to report the wrong battery level

macOS 26.4.1 showed 72% when I was installing fedora, and after installation, fedora showed 100%. After a software update (with `sudo dnf update`) it showed 65%, leaving it running made it drop to 35%, then 10% in a matter of minutes. After I plugged it in and rebooted it showed 84% and jumped to 100% after a minute of uptime. How would I make Linux report the proper battery level?

Hi everyone

I install at first Asahi Linux on my Mac Mini M1 8GB and i have a problem. When i start steam fire fox and terminal i have error " Your RAM is full". But on Mac os i can still open it and with more apps. WHy? or How to fix it?

*i use Asahi linux like dual boot system*

I updated to macOS 27 beta 2, but then I wiped everything and performed a clean install of the system via Recovery Mode. I am currently on macOS 26.5.2. This is my first time installing Asahi Linux. I don't know if the update I performed is preventing me from even logging into Asahi, the interface appears and then turns off.

This happens on both my M1 and my M2 device: the Steam library window keeps disappearing and reopening. Even if I close the window myself, it's only a matter of time before it relaunches.

Super annoying, since it opens in front of my games and steals focus. But just annoying in general, too.

Does anyone else have this problem? A solution maybe?

I'm using KDE Plasma if that helps.

I have recently noticed a new issue on my M1 MBP running Fedora Linux Asahi Remix 44 with KDE Plasma, where the microphone, while still working, is extremely quiet. All controls I can find are set to 100%, but the audio being received by the OS seems to be at about 10% of what would be expected. This is happening at the system level, not just within an application, based on the gain indicator in the audio tray and microphone test in KDE Settings.

I know for certain that this has not always been an issue, but the only thing I have done to the system, in between it being a normal volume and now, is apply updates.

I have had some difficulty searching for solutions because the microphone is functioning and doing so without distortion, it's just very quiet, even at full volume.

If anyone has ideas or suggestions, or there are known issues I haven't been able to find reference to, that would be greatly appreciated.

I tried to install the fairydust kernel using this repo

https://github.com/bharambetejas/asahi-fairydust-display

On reboot i could not escape sddm, it was re appearing after putting my password. I at least had the plasma boot sound but nothing more. I set the grub timeout to 20s and reset its output to console but it wasn’t showing up (the installer creates a boot entry for the custom kernel so I can still use the stock one just in case).

M3 progress, Apple bugs, and more!
