Bad for Linux. I see Asahi Linux on Apple hardware as being the "best Linux" for consumer use (and home servers) moving forwards.
I've been a paying supported of Asahi since the Patreon launched. I'm curious to hear why you think it is "best" for consumers and servers?
I've only installed Asahi one time, just to kick the tires. I think I reverted to MacOS after about two days. I'm a MacOS guy first, Linux second, but I love choice and want Linux on Apple hardware, thus I love Asahi. I'm more of a spectator (on Apple silicon; I've run Linux on x86 for a decade), so any insight is appreciated.
I was macOS (desktop) and Linux (servers), but over time it just became cumbersome to cater to the - while Unix - different environment on the Macs all the time. I've now converted over the last Macbook Pro to Linux but what I really want is a Linux distribution really made specifically for the Macs and making full use of their somewhat special hardware.
If you're more at home with macOS then this doesn't apply to you of course :) A lot of the software I use is from the open source community where Mac gets supported because it's possible to compile for it but it's always an afterthought.
(Servers? Yeah that might surprise people - but the performance of Apple Silicon is really very interesting for a lot of tasks where you need "GPU-speedup" without installing a full GPU)
Thanks for the feedback / update.
