![]() Flathub has an entry for Google Chrome, but it's a generic entry that we couldn't install. Just as with Linux on other Arm devices – such as the aforementioned ThinkPad X13S – some familiar programs are missing because they don't offer Arm versions yet. Once it's running, it feels much the same as any other Linux machine, only quicker. After a reboot, a full update pulled down over 350MB of updates: Fedora 39 has been out for over a month now and the ARM64 editions are getting updated along with all the others. Asahi Fedora doesn't use it to install the OS, just to handle the post-install configuration. The basic Fedora installation will fit into about 20GB.Īs we mentioned earlier this year, you will see the Calamares cross-platform setup program – but only very briefly. This vulture actually likes macOS (which is more than he can say for the two desktops Asahi Fedora offers – KDE Plasma 5.27.9 or GNOME 45) so we took just 64GB off the end of our 256GB SSD, leaving 53GB for Fedora – not much, but enough. Which took a while, so even with these machines' superb battery life: we suggest doing it while connected to mains power. We upgraded our victim target machine to the newly released macOS 14.2.1, freed up as much space as possible, ran First Aid over all our partitions, then gave the install process a whirl. We also suggest that before you begin, you make sure that you know how to get into Apple's Recovery Mode – this too is quite different to the way it works on x86 Macs. It's also quite different from the process of installing Linux on an Intel Mac, so we advise caution, patience, close reading of the on-screen prompts, and lots of backups. ![]() ![]() The script shrinks the Apple partitions to make some free space, then makes some new Linux partitions, builds a Linux installation in there, and adds it to the normally hidden boot selection screen. ![]() ![]() The script runs in a terminal window, it's interactive, and by shell-script standards it's friendly, but will likely deter the sort of Mac user that doesn’t want to install Linux - so that's probably not a problem. ![]()
