Of course, it's not perfect yet. For example, the code doesn't support the M2 FPU, so Torvalds can't do 3D graphics, but "I don't need games." Ironically, that also means some GNOME 40 graphical effects, such as the screen dimming, don't work, but "I like it that way, it makes the display more snappy. I may turn those off on my other machines as well."
<RowanG[m]>
Is the relevant snippet
<RowanG[m]>
Ignoring the wildly inaccurate stuff I wonder whether the point about snappiness holds true
<sven>
additional graphical effects sometimes introduce a delay, e.g. the slowing shrinking the window when you minimize it that macos does vs. just hiding it immediately
<sven>
so if you disable those effects (either because you don't have a 3d driver and they are automatically disabled I guess or just doing it manually) makes everything more ugly but also snappier
<sven>
(apparently I can't write proper english today, but you get the idea)
<opticron>
ehh, that read well enough to me

bread_crumb[m]: is disk0s5 an ext2 partition?
<pitust>
*ext4
<bread_crumb[m]>
pitust: I was attempting to check this but diskutil prints "none" for it, gpt also doesn't show
<bread_crumb[m]>
I will go into asahi now and check, since it shows none it is probably the properly formatted partition
<pitust>
there is a tool called resize2fs
<pitust>
which resizes ext4 filesystems
Moprius has joined #asahi
<pitust>
so you just resize the partition with fdisk and run resize2fs
<pitust>
(from an initrd or something like that)
Moprius has quit [Quit: bye]
<bread_crumb[m]>
<pitust> "which resizes ext4 filesystems" <- It is ext4, I just checked.
<pitust>
yeah so that could work
<pitust>
i have no idea how to do it except "fdisk then resize2fs" though

hey i'm selling my macbook and wiping it. dealing with the diskutil madness right now. so i have removed all the linux efi stuff and the disk containers and i now have: Apple_APFS_ISC, (free space), Apple_APFS_Recovery
<weapon_of_nix[m]>
how do i turn the free space back into a container or whatever it's called so i can reinstall macos on it?
<pitust>
resize it with disk utility
<pitust>
in 1tr
<weapon_of_nix[m]>
i think i got it working, i reclaimed most the drive and am reinstalling macos now

I guess then I should be able to configure if I got it right - once I do manage to make the set up I want I will definitely document it for ppl as technical as me.

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding, bread_crumb[m], but I believe Apple silicon only boots from the internal hard drive (SSD). It's related to the boot process and signed kernels. LMK if you want some links. I guess you could probably get it to boot from the HD and then mount a filesystem that's on a different device.
<j`ey>
Stroller: u-boot can boot from USB
ciggi has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<Stroller>
Oh, excuse me. But u-boot has to be installed on the primary drive, right?
<j`ey>
yeah
<Stroller>
Actually, I think there's someone already distributing a USB like that, isn't there?
