Sell it and buy something better with actual Linux support. Anything that involves installing Linux onto an M1 will always be an unsupported hack*, at best.

* Some of y'all need to unwad your panties and look at the overall picture here.

Without Apple contributing to the kernel or at least documenting the system, getting ANYTHING running on an M1 is still a hack...

...regardless of the quality of the end result.

I wish the Asahi Linux folks the best of luck and have no doubt that they're capable.

I just wish it wasn't so much effort put towards hardware from a company that is known for its incredibly hostile response to users doing what they want with the hardware they own.

And for those who insist that 'unsupported hack' is an insult, you should look up other meanings in the dictionary sometime.

* Definition of Unsupported: (of a program, language, or device) not having assistance for the user available from a *manufacturer* or systems manager.

* Definition of Hack: an act of computer hacking.
