hey, how can i tell if my macbook underwent a kernel panic? i know on my old laptop the caps lock led would blink indicating that a kernel panic. is there some kernel parameter you can set for the caps lock to blink during a kernel panic?

hi. asahi linux doesnt use all 8 gb of memory (uses 7.39 gb). is this normal for now?
<maccas>
or is there a way to use all 8
<sven>
a bunch of memory is reserved for SEP, the nvme co-processor and probably a bunch of other stuff I forgot about
<sven>
even macOS can’t make us of that for itself

macOS lies in the UI and claims 8GB in the system specs because there is basically a "marketing RAM size" property. Linux does not have anything like that, it calculates RAM size based on actual RAM available to the OS, which is always less than the "round number" value.
