  • OK I bite. I have used Linux for almost two decades, last decade without dualboot. Got a windows laptop from work, im glad I don't have to mess with it and just hand it to IT department instead. Seen windows home PCs people use and the absulute horror it is.. last time I used windows , and this is the way, at least for people who don't login on givemeavirus.com, is: Windows AME Chocolatey Hostfile adblock/malwareblock

    At least 70% shit removed.

    Go for that and dualboot it until you are familiar with Linux. Its just a skill issue 😉

    Sure but I spotted asahi a year or two ago. At that point not much worked. Things are going forward pretty fast. Im impressed at whats been done so far

    For an end user who uses Just WorksTM distro, Asahi Linux might not be "done" until they are able to boot their favourite distro's installer off a USB stick and run its install procedure like they would on an amd64 machine. They likely also expect features like 3D acceleration, modesetting, WiFi, Bluetooth, Thunderbolt etc. to all work out of the box. For this to all be the case, all the relevant kernel patches have to be accepted upstream and then pulled into the distro's generic kernel and the user's particular machine must have support in U-Boot. Considering that at the time of writing, many of these drivers haven't even been committed to linux-asahi, so this point is probably quite far away. For people who expect such things, Asahi Linux likely won't be "done" for another year, maybe two.
