    Well… doesn’t the BETA update also say it is not for production use and might break stuff? Doesn’t it also tell you to do a proper backup of everything in case shit breaks?

    That’s shitty, but who is seriously spending that much on Apple hardware to run Linux on it?

      Two big use cases. You want to run MacOS and Linux on the same hardware, and you boot into each OS separately at different times.

      Or, you have old personal or enterprise hardware sitting around, and you’d like to repurpose it for Linux. That use case is a tale as old as time.

      A lot of people? Mac os is unbearable shit with close to zero benefits.

        I always thought MacOS is better then Modern Windows.

          You can force windows os to behave, you can’t force mac os. They both are horrible in different ways.

            In what ways can’t you force Mac to behave? It’s literally Unix. I run hammerspoon and have everything I need and more, stuff that windows can never do. It is missing a few things I like in Linux, but I also can’t force Linux to behave the way Mac does so it’s not like Linux is magically better either.

    Really, fuck apple for all that shit

    That’s why I’m not buying their hardware, even if it often is good
    They just fuck you over, because they want to keep you in their fucking walled garden.

    Hopefully not getting redundant here, so I’ll just finish with a fuck them!

      It would be pretty egotistical to think that Apple did this on purpose. Apple just updated their shit. Now Ashai needs to update theirs.

      They fix bugs to keep asahi working all the time, this is literally a beta release, chill.

        Alright

        I’m not buying into Apple stuff because of the things Apple does
        So seemingly locking other people out of using their hardware just seemed in line

        But ok, I’ll retract my comment

        Edit: I corrected my comment with the stuff, that was wrong

          I mean, in fairness, if I read a headline that was like “in silent apple update, MacBooks with Asahi Linux installed will self destruct the lithium ion battery once it detects the user is asleep and unable to stop the explosion” I’d have been like “yeah. That tracks. Sucks that their hardware is so fucking good.”

            But it’s not a silent Apple update. It’s literally a beta release for beta users and you have to click update to update!

            For fucks sake. If a headline said “Mr Roger’s ran someone over with his car and didn’t tell anyone about it” would you believe it or be slightly incredulous? This user didn’t even post the actual headline, which mentioned it was a beta. Does no one have critical thinking skills anymore?

            It’s like believing Microsoft purposefully puts in idiotic bugs and security vulnerabilities into their OS multiple times a month. They’re not doing it on purpose, they’re just completely incompetent.
