they don't really make clear if this install script replaces MacOS, or if it installs Asahi/Fedora alongside or inside it. Does anyone know which it is?

- GrilledChips 3y agoafaik there has always been the option to install alongside during the installer. It might not even be possible to do otherwise if you're installing from macOS itself.
- psanford 3y agoThe installer prompts you for how much you want to shrink your macOS partition and then installs Asahi to a newly created set of partitions. You still need macOS to do any sort of firmware upgrade, so there is no blessed install process that completely replaces macOS.
- chippiewill 3y agoAlways alongside. IIRC from one of the early posts that Marcan posted a couple of years ago, it's essentially impossible to completely get rid of MacOS due to the way the Apple Silicon boot process works.
- lproven 3y agoIf you're talking about the Reg article, I did make it clear, and it only supports dual-boot for now.
