@timojyrinki Hello friend!

I have @ubuntuasahi on my M1 MacBook Air. I can't think of anything I can't do with it.

There's the usual proprietary fat desktop apps that are missing - like Slack and Discord. But most of the time, those kinds of things are accessible in a browser anyway, so it's not a problem.

I've used mine for nearly a year now. I installed it while at the UDS-like "Summit" in Latvia last year. Saw a presentation and was sold on the spot!

It's surprisingly solid!

@popey @timojyrinki @ubuntuasahi It's pretty good. Makes it usable for development.

@popey @timojyrinki @ubuntuasahi Still after using Macbook Pro for 1.5 years I actually prefer stock Thinkpads over it for the sake of robustness. I had to pick yesterday for my new job between Mac and PC laptop, and went with latter.

@popey @timojyrinki @ubuntuasahi I'm waiting the ARM PC market further mature but over time ARM64 laptop with UEFI/ACPI and TPM will be quite nice option because then you can encrypt the hard drive with TPM. UEFI and ACPI are fat and ugly but also super robust. I'd say Macbook Pro is right now quite feasible laptop if you don't do kernel development but for a kernel developer it is limited as hell.

hi @timojyrinki o/

@ubuntuasahi is intentionally an independent community project. We are doing this for fun! All three current Ubuntu Asahi work at Canonical across the Foundation, Kernel, and Security team.

We don't support the new installer for Noble Server _yet_, but my M2 Desktop install is fairly similar to: https://markesler.com/notes/ubuntu-server-desktop/
