Meant to add a comment not to close the issue, my bad. I forgot to mention that I've also completed all the updates that were pending on my Mac, and the issue still persists
What does diskutil list
print?
Please read through https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Partitioning-cheatsheet and resize macOS if needed.
Running diskutil list
prints out

Not sure what Update Snapshot is about, as I have installed all the pending updates
I have already resized macOS though Disk Utility prior to writing this issue, but I've now learned that that isn't the best way of doing it. Do i just delete the partition that I was intending to wipe while installing,merge it back with my main partition and then use diskutil to partition it as i need to?
That is what I would try. See how to delete the container first https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Partitioning-cheatsheet#do-not-blindly-copy-and-paste-these-commands
All right, I deleted the container and it worked! I can now get past the partitioning stage of the installer. Thanks a lot for the help.
What i find weird is that the Disk Utility used to let me shrink my macOS virtual partition and leave the space as free unpartitioned space before, but this time it didn't.
I've been trying to install Asahi today, but every time i try resizing my partition i get this error
Problem is, i don't even have Time Machine enabled. I've followed the guide to delete the snapshots, and the Time Machine menu is inaccessible. Typing
and
Just gives an empty list.
Am i doing something wrong?
