| 7 | * Trying out Asahi Linux | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | While debating if I should find a replacement laptop and get rid of my Macbook | |
| 10 | Pro, I decided to try [[https://asahilinux.org/][Asahi Linux]]. | |
| 11 | ||
| 12 | To put the bottom line up front, I love the experience and support for popular | |
| 13 | features has come a long way since I originally checked out their website a few | |
| 14 | years ago. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | From Asahi's website, as seen below, I noticed that almost all targeted features | |
| 17 | are now supported. This is a great jump from the state it was at in 2022 - 2023 | |
| 18 | when I last checked. | |

| 23 | ** Installation | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | Luckily, the installation process is as simple as getting started with a single | |
| 26 | command: | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | #+begin_src shell | |
| 29 | curl https://alx.sh | sh | |
| 30 | #+end_src | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | This script will walk you through the standard installation steps to define the | |
| 33 | size of the Linux partition, define your user and hostname, and give you | |
| 34 | instructions on how to boot from the new operating system (OS). | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | Once the script completes, it will ask you to completely shut down the device, | |
| 37 | boot into the Startup Options menu, and follow a handful of prompts to enable | |
| 38 | your new OS. | |
