battery life and thermals seem significantly better under gentoo
<chadmed>
i get about 8 hours of general desktop use and the machine doesnt warm up noticeably unless im trying to watch 4k youtube
<chadmed>
idk what clang does for -mpcu=apple-m1 but its some sort of evil magic i guess

chadmed: dracut is strange. it transform apple-mailbox to apple_mailbox and then complains that it can't find the module and includes no modules at all in the initrd
<chadmed>
yeah i think im just gonna yeet it out of the script and use genkernel instead even though its dog slow and overengineered
<chadmed>
but hey, it wouldnt be gentoo without dog slow, overengineered software installation mechanics :P
<jannau>
hmm, it fails to find "dwc3" if that is the first module in add_drivers
<jannau>
that was a missing `depmod`, apple_mailbox problem still persists though
<chadmed>
thats so bizarre
<chadmed>
unless youve made manual edits to the kernel config all of those things should be modules
<chadmed>
were you booting asahi with a custom kernel?
<jannau>
is '${add_drivers/-/_}' a bash-ism which does what it looks like?
