    I remember I told one of the asahi devs (lina?) How shitty apple is and how they try to make it as hard as possible for them to make a linux that runs on apple computers. they got triggered, told me this is not the case and apple is very cooperative, then blocked me on mastodon.

    guess they like the arrangement.

    Read it as “Apple’s boot licker” wouldn’t expect anything else from them.

      Yeah, I tried dual booting for a very short time ~20 years ago (oh man…) Every time Windows would obliterate my grub config/mbr and I’d have to dig up instructions to reconfigure grub from live cd. Never again.

        Back in those (pre-UEFI) days it was quite easy to add GRUB to the Windows boot manager instead.

        You’d wind up with a menu entry that Windows would usually leave alone, unlike its aggressive reinstallation overwriting GRUB.

        Once UEFI came along, it became easier to give each OS an entire disk with no connections between them, and use the BIOS as the boot menu.

        Or, y’know, just give Windows the flick and only run Linux 😉

    Nice to see a corporation show some fear towards a community project.

    Been very happily living in Asahi for the last few weeks. It’s buggy, but totally usable for a daily driver. So usable that I’m tempted to obliterate the macOS partition entirely.
