Is Asahi installed side by side on a mac? You pick it at boot? And how “install and just use” it is?

> Is Asahi installed side by side on a mac? Yes, the installer automatically (and reliably) resizes partitions for you. A minimum of about 70 GB for macOS is needed (anything lower is still possible but unsupported). > You pick it at boot?

Thank you. I will try it.

Just one more question: is my mac hardware (and encrypted data) still protected the way it is protected before installing Asahi on it? Like device/theft protection etc.

My limited exploration/search on this topic kinda says in some way Asahi Linux lives inside the bounds of macOS (even all the data is available/readable in macOS which is fine by me). Is that so?

Nothing on this list compares to removing an ESC key. That was apple starting to leave reality. I had to buy used laptops for that time period.

Wow I already forgot about the touch bar. And imagine being so stubborn to keep the touch bar but introduce a physical ESC key, they lost their minds during that time.

There was non-touch bar variant, right ? Personally i like how manufactures try out new thing, instead of staying inside their safe zone.

I'll give it a try, I installed the iOS and iPadOS betas and I actually like some of the changes. But I do not understand how the color-tinted UI/icons ever got shipped. They just look... bad...

That’s just a psychological experiment to see how many people go through the standard: enable puke disable cycle. I too fell for it.

I have a red tint that turns on only when I'm in sleep mode--it's like an added layer of dark mode. That's about the only use I've found for it!

I'm not a fan of the forced border radius on maximized (but not full screen) apps

Other than that I tilt slightly towards the 'like it' side. Really like it on iOS

update: my god how did they release it in this state. The inconsistencies in the UI.. my dark mode widgets are now white.. different border radiuses by app.. I've found 2 UI bugs in under an hour

Every new version of MacOS exhibits four phenomena: 1. Old bugs are not fixed. 2. New bugs are introduced, and I have to spend hours online figuring out workarounds. 3. Old features I depended on are removed, and I have to spend hours online figuring out how to replace them. 4. New features I don't need are added and they get in my way, and I have to spend hours online figuring out how to disable them. My workflow pr…

I can relate, but generally if I avoid updating in the first quarter of the release, I don't find it is too difficult to get my Mac back to a happy state. I did try to move to Linux a couple of years ago, but just couldn't. The keyboard, mouse, window system, and app ecosystem were far and away less usable for me and there was nothing I could find to do that would make the machine work as well for me as Mac, despite what Apple is throwing at us.

I've been running it since the RC and am currently in the process of uninstalling it. The new UI is so incredibly ugly I honestly cannot understand how they thought it was acceptable to even released as a beta let alone an RC and now release. There's SO much padding and wasted screen real estate, disjointed looking floating inner panels, window corners that are so rounded you see gaps in full screen apps, inconsisten…

I am lucky to read this after before deciding to update. Unforunately did update to the new ios and it's incredibly ugly. Wish there would have been an easy way to roll back on iphone

The Finder looks like shit. The sidebar is like badly retrofited from another program, perhaps from some crappy Gnome theme. The Control Center (or however they call the drop down window with quick controls for volume, wifi, brigthness, etc) has floating isolated icons like crap. Bring back Scott Forstall. Give him a big bonus. Let him fix this shit. Otherwise, the code changes and actual features are probably fine.

I’m glad to see another member of Club Forstall here. My biggest wish for Apple is to bring back Forstall. Letting him go was their biggest mistake.

... but he was "difficult" to work with! (sigh)

I still have a few devices running iOS 5.x and power them up every now and then just to appreciate how incredible the interface was. Even on modest hardware, stuff felt interactive and was beautiful.
