Asahi Linux is great

I, somehow, came into possession of an M2 Macbook Pro that only has 8GB of RAM. The low memory makes using OS X thoroughly unenjoyable, so I decided to take a shot at running Fedora via Asahi Linux on it.

It’s actually great; quite consistent with Ubuntu running on my main rig, and so snappy it’s become my primary laptop. I recommend anyone with an aging Apple Silicon laptop try it out. The only frustration I’ve had is that the battery consumption when it’s suspended is bizarrely high.
