There is no encryption set on the root partition using the default Asahi linux install flow so will encrypt that btrfs partition after the fact. Will try without using a live USB, wish me luck. ๐Ÿคž #asahi #linux #aarch64

Anyone running Linux on their M1 (or M2) Mac? Here to share my journey. https://asahilinux.org/ with Fedora is working really well, but got some annoyances due to the limited software available for aarch64. The good things are: - I learn to compile more things - looking at you Signal and Keybase - Power efficiency and shared memory without the closed garden - Fedora seems to be a very good distro (coming from Debian) - Webcam, speakers, USBC ports just work The (not so) bad so far: - will think twice what software worth the hassle and no closed source stuff is available to build - will need to master some emulators like qemu and Box86/Box64 - The built-in microphone hasn't been reverse-engineered yet - Fingerprint sensor won't work #linux #aarch64 #asahi

Root encryption on the M1 Mac running Asahi Fedora Remix is done for a while now. I have set up LUKS while booting from another partition running Debian so GRUB2 doesn't get confused. This was easier then having making a bootable USB work, which I still couldn't do. All going well since, seems like it is a viable setup.
