Linux auf dem Mac: WLAN
Vor ein paar (11!) Jahren habe ich hier auf dem Blog schon einmal beschrieben, wie man die WLAN-Hardware der Apple Computer unter Linux zum Laufen bekommt. Nachdem die neuesten Distributionen auch auf proprietäre Treiber zugreifen können (wenn man das will), ist das heute kein Problem mehr. Schwierig ist d

@jay I agree. #ArchLinux has a high potential to discourage people who are new to #Linux.
Made the same experience years ago when trying out several Distros. -
@gischpelino My understanding is that the boot flag is for BIOS-based systems, and I think this hardware uses EFI. The original Mac hdd has a 200M EFI partition. If that's required, I'd like to set it up on the new ssd, but that will require some creative repartitioning. 💀

My Saturday project was installing #linuxmint on an old Intel MacBook Air from 2017.
Installed without any problems. All devices are recognized.
The best part after installing linux is always that it feels like a new machine.

Je passe enfin à #linux pour donner une nouvelle vie à mon macbook air de... 2013.
Après 12 ans de bons et loyaux services, il tourne toujours aussi bien, mais je ne pouvais plus disposer de certaines applications, notamment ma chouchou #anytype
Je le relance donc pour une durée inconue.Il est temps d'accentuer ma liberté hors des gafam ! 🎉

I can't get #quickemu to work in #fedora #asahilinux, is this because I'm not smart or because it doesn't support ARM?
I have it running on an intel Ubuntu install.

A brief hiccup, first Linux journey, a few days ago.
It looks (and looked) bad, but staring at it now, I see the problem is simple: the installer was writing to the wrong USB. Instead of the target 1TB SSD, it went to the 16MB USB key 'sdb' from which 'Try' Ununtu (a full-blast version of Linux) and the installer had launched and were being hosted—back to its own temporary install, in other words.
Background here:

@sjvn Just gave my 12-year-old #Apple #MacBook Pro a fresh life with Linux Mint. 🚀
On newer machines I go for #Ubuntu, but here I happily skipped #GNOME and went for #KDE. Smooth, fast, and still rocking ~2h battery life. Proof that old hardware can shine again! 💻✨

Regular reminder for anyone who might have an Apple Silicon based Mac that Asahi Linux is a thing and a good thing. It's not just Intel Macs that can play nice with Linux.
I love my little M1 Macbook Air. It's great hardware and never gets overheated. But sometimes I need to play with Linux instead of MacOS.
Asahi installation was able to hive off a small partition during setup to dual-boot. It's very smooth and makes for a great desktop. I've got Firefox and LibreOffice and even Proton VPN running nice. It's ready for prime time.
Am sending this toot from Asahi Linux right now :)

So, nächstes #Linux Testprojekt gestartet.
#Ubuntu auf einer zweiten Partition neben #MacOS auf meinem #MacBook installiert.
Bisher läuft das alles sauber und macht eine ziemlich guten Eindruck. Also wenn man nicht auf eine spezielle Software angewiesen ist, die unter Linux nicht läuft, gibt es kaum einen Grund den Schritt zu Linux nicht zu wagen.

Asahi Linux uses DNF. It's essentially Fedora with the extra trimmings to make it Apple Silicon friendly.
Managed to install ProtonVPN after translating their cryptic instructions. Their CLI example didn't work for Asahi but pretending you have Fedora gets it over the hurdle.
Now just need to convince UpNote that Linux also runs on non-Intel hardware.

Asahi Linux is working very nicely on my little M1 MacBook Air. I wanted a clean environment that I could trust as secure.
Maybe I'll be inspired to spend a little more time writing code, updating the website, and tinkering with some FOSS.
It's very fast. Very clean. Mastodon looks peachy in my Firefox browser too :)

So, a few weeks into using my newly #Ubuntu powered mid-2011 #Mac and I'm still very much enjoying it. Knew that the RAM on the machine was a bit wanting (even still, the OS runs fast). So I opened up another same model Mac I have to repurpose some RAM. Discovered that I've been running the Ubuntu machine on only 4gb and the other Mac on 16. So now the Ubuntu machine has 12gb and continues to feel like I've purchased a brand new computer.

@wikinaut – Na sowas. Hab auch kürzlich ein MacBook Air von 2012 mit LMDE bespielt: super!

Finally got round to doing a full factory reset and clean install on my retired #MacBookAir2012 8GB ram A1466 ! Updated Mountain Lion to the last supported OS, #Catalina. Partioned the 500GB SSD for dual booting into my upcoming daily driver: #LinuxMint 21.3 Cinnamon! Really excited.
If this all goes to plan, I want to replace the non-existent battery, reapply new thermal paste (12y+ old) and get an adapter for a NVMe ssd in there.

Hello #linux users
Are apple M chips useable as daily drivers for linux now? If I can get work to pay, was considering upgrading my work issued Thinkpad X1 Carbon (G8) i7 for either (or both) an [M2 Mini Desktop](https://www.ozbargain.com.au/goto/751780) or a [M1 MacBook Air 8c/7c](https://www.apple.com/au/shop/product/FGN63X/A/)
mostly for graphics improvement and possibly battery life and portability#applem #linuxonmac #hardware #laptops #macbookair #macmini #m1macmini #MacBookAirM1
