Asahi Linux

TL;DR

Apple's latest beta firmware just nuked the ability to boot Linux on Apple Silicon, proving once again that you don't actually own your hardware.

Who is this actually for?

Developers and power users who bought M-series Macs specifically to run Asahi Linux instead of macOS.

The Good

• It serves as a wake-up call for anyone relying on non-official boot paths.
• The Asahi team is usually fast at reverse-engineering these roadblocks.

The Catch (Potential Downsides)

Total reliance on Apple's whims for hardware access. A single update can break your entire dev environment without warning.
