I’ve not tried it long but from my short experience, it works well.
Btw, Asahi is actually really easy to install if you are curious. Everything is done/installed from macOS including shrinking your macOS partition. And uninstalling it is as simple as removing the partition from Disk Manager and growing back your macOS partition.
All you need is some disk space and, one command line to copy paste and about 20 minutes.
And it works really well overall. It have everything to be a daily driver (including graphics acceleration) except external display support and TouchID. But both of those issues are being worked on.
- reacharavindh 2y agoI played with Asahi on my personal use MacBook Air. It is great for the things it does. But, I’m waiting on the USB-C implementation and the external monitor support before thinking about switching to it for proper use. For now, it is just checking in every month or so to see what all works and what doesn’t.
- pjerem 2y agoYes, same for me. But overall, I was pretty impressed by Fedora Asahi. I was expecting a clunky experience with hacks and bugs everywhere but I'm now actually expecting to use it as my daily driver as soon as possible. Like, there are those things (USB-C, external display, Touch ID) that doesn't work at all but everything else works wonderfully. Even the audio is as good as on macOS (thanks to the specially built audio driver) which iirc, have never been the case on Intel macs (yes, audio works on intel but the sound is better on macOS because Apple have a special driver that is able to shortly and safely overdrive the speakers to get better sound - and asahi replicated this driver).
