Tried for half the weekend to get elementary to work, it just refused to install for reasons unknown.

Gone with Mint for now.

I like the hardware (an old Intel MacBook Air) and didn’t want it to go to waste.

I’ll see how I get on with this desktop. Went feet first straight to bare metal because I couldn’t be bothered with dual boot. It was too much faff. Would value any insight from others who’ve found a lovely distro/DE combo with these tiny machines.

Making my first moves away from proprietary software. Thanks largely to being inspired by you delightful folk.

Pretty much, some of the very specific Apple hardware stuff like trackpad niceties might not be fully supported, but asahi hasn’t focused on those much either, their focus is mostly just compiling everything for Apple ARM and making sure boot and graphics work
