Potential of frying my m1 mac while following the guide?

haznai commented 3 months ago

As i'm extremely new to asahi linux, guix and installing non-macOs systems on my mac, i'd love to hear your thoughts on the potential of fryin' my mac while trying to install asahi guix.

this question comes from a place of genuine interest in the project ☺️

also, extra question: what is the current support of the latest asahi linux, and what are your guesses on how sustainable an asahi guix installation can be on a m1 mac

Hi @haznai,

sorry I just saw this now. Thanks for the interest. Regarding your questions:

I would not recommend using this project if you are new to all of this, unless you want to get your hands dirty
That said, I'm using it since quite some time and it works "good enough" for me
Sound is working since yesterday
There are occasional "breakages" with Mesa, but this is probably me not knowing what I do
You will fry your Mac for sure, not in the sense of breaking it, but you have to build A LOT of packages. This is hopefully solved once the core-updates branch of Guix is merged into master.
This repo tries to be "up to date" with the "latest" Asahi Linux

I hope that helps.
