While I love Asahi as such and am really blown away by the effort, my setup requires an encrypted ZFS root file system, which is unreasonably hard to achieve with a Mac.
The fact, that there has to be a macOS partition for maintenance ruling out ZFSBootMenu somehow is very unfortunate - but I've accepted it.
Maybe the new Framework 13 Pro will be at least in the region of an alternative... :-/
- incanus77 6mo agoI’m curious, broadly, what is involved with this. I just got encrypted (LUKS) BTRFS root going on my two Asahi machines and it wasn’t _terrible_… but also definitely not easy.
- sandreas 6mo agoWell... I'm never using BTRFS again, see [1] for why - disclaimer: This is a personal opinion, not a recommendation. Since I switched to ZFS, everything is awesome ;) Besides creating zarch[2], I recently noticed that there is weird stuff happening in some of the used components, so I switched to CachyOS, which contains a ZFS Kernel and a good enough installer to get started with encrypted ZFS root. And I think they are also working on ZFSBootMenu integration, but I don't find the link right now :-) 1: https://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=39143#p39143 https://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=39143#p3... 2: https://github.com/sandreas/zarch https://github.com/sandreas/zarch
