First system upgrade ever I’ve tried for Asahi Linux ongoing *fingers crossed* (40 to 41)

Speaking of Asahi's install script. I don't really see why it could not have "external drive installation" option, which would do the following:

1. Allocate space for EFI and /boot from internal storage.
2. Allocate root/home from given external storage.

Maybe there is something that I'm missing but I think this should be enough. Then Asahi would take constant ~2GB from internal drive only. If it makes install too complex maybe there could be "experimental option" for this. Is this feasible or not?

@jarkko @jarkko it’s possible and planned. Nobody has done the work for this yet because it’s not a supportable solution. The USB-C ports reset when they come out of suspend.
I think you can move/copy the rootfs partition to external storage post install if you can guarantee that the system does not suspend.

@janne Yes, I was successful doing this :-) That's why I was asking. It's easy to migrate BTRFS subvolumes (actually did not know anything about it but learned how to do it about 30 minutes).

@janne Nice work and do not mean to complain or push voluntary work! Thanks for doing all the effort with this so far. It's superb as far as I'm concerned.

The next thing I'm going to go through is this nice tutorial I found: https://davidalger.com/posts/fedora-asahi-remix-on-apple-silicon-with-luks-encryption/

Then it would be kind of "corporate work ready" (minimal requirements fulfilled).

@janne Right and about USB-C suspend issue. Not a huge turndown with Mac mini. I just never suspend, that was my workaround.
