People who’ve used leifliddy’s fedora builder; how’s your experience been so far?
So the differences between my build https://github.com/leifliddy/asahi-fedora-builder and the "offical" https://asahi-fedora-remix.org/ are as follows. 1. The asahi-repos-edge and edge kernel are installed by default **that's not the case with the offical Asahi Fedora Remix build 2. grub will boot from the latest kernel by default ** there's an issue with Asahi Fedora Remix in that regard https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Asahi#Upgrading\_to\_kernel-edge\_(for\_accelerated\_graphics) with my build, there's no need to run that grubby command everytime you install a new kernel 3. I use this script which makes transitioning from uboot --> grub much faster https://github.com/leifliddy/asahi-firstboot/blob/main/sbin/create-efi-bootloader Relying solely on the BOOTAA64.EFI bootloader provided by shim-aa64 is way too slow at the moment (for me anyway) 4. The Grub menu on my build is not hidden and displays correctly. All in the all, the differences are quite minor. The exact same asahi repos are used: https://pagure.io/fedora-asahi/asahi-repos/tree/main I only provide a minimal build though. So if you want GNOME or KDE pre-installed -- then use the offical build https://asahi-fedora-remix.org/ Although, it's ridiculously easy to just run dnf group install 'Fedora Workstation' or dnf group install 'KDE (K Desktop Environment)'

Confused about Asahi Linux Minimal -- ubuntu?
Personally, I would avoid Ubuntu for beginners. I'm not trying to gatekeep/prevent you from using what you want, but Ubuntu is doing some questionable things (e.g. preventing the use of Flatpak). If you want something easy like Ubuntu, Fedora has an Asahi port (https://github.com/leifliddy/asahi-fedora-builder), and I think I've heard that it will be officially supported eventually, but don't take my word for that. The installer linked above doesn't provide a desktop environment, so read the entire Readme to see to set up WiFi and then look up how to install GNOME on Fedora if you want something capable yet easy to use.

Any news when the new distro will replace arch?
Here’s a link https://github.com/leifliddy/asahi-fedora-builder. Basically you run a script on MacOS as you would the regular Asahi install. The result is a bare bones Fedora install. Just follow the instructions to connect to the internet through wifi and then use dnf to install a desktop environment. After that, its pretty much like any other Fedora install.

Not to be a downer (or an "upper"?), but anyone can have a m2 with Fedora on it right now. asahi-fedora-builder

Using baremetal Asahi Linux (Ubuntu) on M1 Mac Minis for homelab
I used an Asahi Linux distro (Ubuntu Server 22.04LTS) - https://github.com/UbuntuAsahi/ubuntu-asahi as Ubuntu is a supported distro and KVM host in Apache #CloudStack. I want to explore if this can be used as a viable KVM/virtualisation host. After initial install, I had to manually setup openssh and bridge-utils on it. Initial impressions - I was amazed, I knew the new Apple silicon chips are fast (tried on Mac OS) but on Linux on them is really "really" fast while consuming only 5-6W idle and about 20W for full "server" workloads (CPU) and it was very quiet and cool.

Confused about Asahi Linux Minimal -- ubuntu?
No, the minimal option is Arch Linux without a desktop environment (GUI). Asahi aims to put Linux in general (maybe Ubuntu one day) on the Apple silicon Macs. While there is way to install Ubuntu, it's not supported by the Asahi team. Here it is: https://github.com/tobhe/ubuntu-asahi

Installing Kubuntu on Asahi?
On the Alternative Distros wiki page there's a link to a project that let's you install Ubuntu on Asahi Linux. However, I perfer KDE over GNOME, so is there a way to install Kubuntu instead of plain Ubuntu?
- Gnome Wayland is amazing <3

Ubuntu 22.10 running on M1 MacBook Air (bare metal)
Never really seen anybody on the internet write a guide to install Ubuntu on apple silicon based macs, so I’ve decided to come out the public and publish a guide on how to install Ubuntu on apple silicon based macs. First and foremost, go to this GitHub page: https://github.com/tobhe/ubuntu-asahi and run these scripts in the macOS terminal: curl -sL https://tobhe.de/ubuntu/install > install.sh # Download less install.sh # Review sh install.sh # Run
- Help! I want to boot a portable Ubuntu USB on my Macbook Air M2

Why did they choose arch Linux?
https://github.com/tobhe/ubuntu-asahi is working quite well for me on an M1 Air.
