Is it a completely bonkers proposition to buy a refurbished M2 Mac only to wipe it and put Asahi on it?

    If you made the mistake of buying an M-series Mac before migrating to Linux, Asahi is a great way to continue using that machine if you’re fine with no external displays. Since I only ever use my M1 air on the go, it doesn’t bother me.

    However, you cannot wipe the existing MacOS install nor stub partitions as they’re needed for firmware updates and booting non-mac operating systems. I think I managed to squeeze my macos partition down to something like 40gb, which is a ton of unusable space on my 128GB laptop.

    If you’re in the market for a new machine, there are better options in terms of affordability and usability, even if you’re specifically looking for an ARM device

      Are you thinking of Snapdragon X1 Elite/Pro laptops? I use one of those (Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x) and while it’s really neat, they’re also lacking a lot of peripheral support and drivers at the moment.
