From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I use it for moths now, it's great. What do you want to know?
when I use a windows laptop, I don't really take over my Mac habits (e.g. CMD-OPT-ESC, or using 4 finger pinch or 3 finger swipe up or down), however when using a MacBook even when remoting in to a windows computer I automatically use what I am used to on my MacBook.
do you find that you have some frustration with the user experience and interfacing with asahi linux on your MacBook? i.e. you use the gestures lets say that you would use and they don't work, or rather, you could make it work but it's too much trouble.
if it's a painless kind of switch over, then I think I would be willing to learn or relearn or customize the desktop environment to my liking even if it took a bit of time. however if it's bug-laden and 'appears' to be too much like macOS on the onset, it would probably be more trouble than it's worth at the moment to use as a daily driver (dual booting in this case would make it even more confusing to demarcate for me).
so yeah that's a lot to ask you for what your thoughts & experiences were...
Oh, I should have mentioned I never used macOS. The laptop went straight to Linux, so I can't comment on the habbits.
Now, Fedora Asahi is stable and perfectly fine as a daily driver as long as you don't need the the microphone and thunderbolt.
Installation is super easy. Just decide between KDE and GNOME.
Edit: you could also install Fedora in a virtual machine to try things out beforehand.
ah fair enough, thanks for the response!
