Where can I download asahi linux? #320

Closed ghostforest closed 1 month ago

ghostforest commented 3 months ago

I only find links that install asahi linux. I cant seem to find anything to download a .iso?

GuillaumeDIDIER commented 3 months ago

It is not really possible to download an ISO because of :

  1. The way Apple Silicon system boot
  2. Apple restricts redistribution of some of the requisite pieces, which have to be downloaded straight from them

How can I test Asahi with a virtual machine then? I guess I cant?

GuillaumeDIDIER commented 3 months ago

Asahi is not meant to be in a virtual machine. It only deals with the bare-metal support for Apple Silicon, and is very thin layer added to a ARM Fedora KDE, dealing with HW stuff.

To test, you can install an ARM Fedora KDE on your favourite VM software (ideally with some guest GPU acceleration).
