New year, new OS for this M1 MacBook Air!
I’ve been using Asahi Linux (via the flagship Fedora Asahi Remix) for a few weeks now. It’s been my everyday laptop and I’m really impressed with how it’s held up. Battery life is amazing, and the ARM Linux experience is fine for everyday use.
This video walks through how I installed Fedora Asahi Remix in December 2025, the process might change in the future and if it does, I might revisit it here or in a blog- watch for pinned comments I guess!

And Mac has ‘some production stuff’ that’s leagues better than anything Linux offers. So … great for everyday use … if you can get the Mac hardware at a great price.
