hey,

so I’ve been using Asahi with KDE for two days now, in general it’s working really nice, I feel like it will become my main distribution. However, there are two things that are scaring me a bit:

1. The battery seems to be heated all the time, no matter what I run on the OS. It may be even idle, but the battery is still somehow hot - it didn’t happen like that on macOS.

2. Even though the loudness of speakers is set to like 50%, the system notifications seem to be really, really loud - I saw that there’s a separate switch for notification loudness, but for some reason it didn’t change anything. The first time I booted Asahi I thought it was going to destroy the speakers - it was so loud and distorted (kinda).

Overall, thank you for making the distro so nice!

Hey All!

I’ve been considering moving to Asahi on my MacBook Air for a long time already, however, the blocker for me is a lack of the native disk encryption using for example LUKS. I know it’s not in the installer, I‘ve seen some guides that are outdated so my questions are:

1. Is there any official/unofficial guide on how to do this?

2. Is there any work planned to introduce the encryption natively to the installer? If not, is this issue logged anywhere and possibly refined so I could start working on adding it? Because, I assume if it wasn’t introduced for so long time, there must be some issues around it.

Thank you!

hey,

I know this has been brought up multiple times in the community but I wanted to check it again especially in a light of recent supply chain attacks. Seems like common sense might be not enough nowadays, as you cannot really protect from these kind of attacks. You are installing a package that is trusted by yourself but still can be infected. Would an EDR/Antivirus protect from it? I just want to use the computer without being worry to install packages as everything can get infected lol.

Is there any good software for home usage?

Plus I download a lot of stuff (pdfs in general) from my clients which can be possibly infected as well.

I have firewall set up, AppArmor rules already.
