The installation was really smooth, very impressed. Hope this becomes my daily driver now.

Still no HDMI or any other external display?
I haven’t checked, I don’t tend to plug it in to a 2nd screen.
How is the battery life?
I…don’t know. Been on charge this whole time.
It would be the biggest reason for me to get an M1 honestly, kinda sick of laptops with 4-5 hours of SOT
still no m2 max support, right?
If I’m reading this correctly (it kinda lumps all of the M2’s together, then breaks them down by device): https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support it does look like it’s still a work in progress unfortunately.
ah. well, cool that it’s being worked on, hopefully progress is made. would love to be able to have the option some day!
Something which I didn’t know/expect is that it’s a dual-boot setup. I kinda thought I’d be blowing away my macOS installation, but it’s not. It shrinks down the macOS partition and creates its own, so you can jump back into macOS at boot (long press power button when turning on).
Surely you made this choice when installing?
Yeah, so I thought I’d be blowing away macOS entirely, but it didn’t (it’s a nice fall back option to have if anything goes wrong)
How’s the current experience? Trackpad, keyboard, audio? I’m really excited for this but my only ARM Mac is work issued so I can’t take the plunge yet…
Trackpad is a bit ‘quick’ but I guess I’m comparing that to macOS. Keyboard seems fine, need to get used to using ctrl instead of super for copy-pasta, etc (but I’ve made that transition once before I guess!). Audio is working via bluetooth, but speakers it’s a no-go.
look at https://toshy.app for macOS shortcuts on linux.
Can’t you just remap the super and ctrl keys? I feel like I’ve done that before
Good point. I should probably do that now before I lose my muscle memory!
How’s the hardware support? I have an M1 Pro, waiting for basic touchbar drivers… btw, speakers work yet?
So far, no speakers. Bluetooth working for audio for just now, which I’m fine with. What I’m struggling with is the lack of VLC…that’s not something I expected.
There isn’t arm VLC yet? I’m shocked
It’s a bit confusing. Not in the default repos. Added rpmfusion repos as per the vlc site, same thing. Had to add it from the flatpak store in the end.
Thats not bad, the Flatpak works well.
How is ARM support on Flathub?
there is on Debian
