    I mean technically it does. Isn’t this the Ashai Linux and isnt it very Alpha / Beta stage? As far as I’m aware this is not recommended for anything critical ( per the project maintainers) and unless OP loves tinkering he is most likely going to hit a lot of unique edge case scenarios that require a lot of time to unwind. If you have a very narrow use case this might work but is probably not worth the headache.

      Asahi is not at all “alpha” and I’d hesitate to describe even parts of it on the first and second generation Apple silicon as “beta.” Its daily driver levels of stability and I’m constantly impressed by it.

        From the Ashai website - “Asahi Linux is a work in progress. Many hardware components are not yet supported!”

        Just be warned a lot of people have bricked or nearly bricked their computers just trying to get Ashai installed on their Mac. Daily driver this is not but they are making great progress! It will get there eventually.

      All the hardware support for the Mac Mini is complete and working.

      I’ve had no problems running Asahi Linux on an M1 Mac Mini.

  I was thinking more like just having dockers on macOS

  But running a Linux like asahi is an option

    IMO venturing out in the unknown using fringe case hardware/software is a hobby by itself. It’s my 2nd hobby besides self hosting. Being more about experimenting than stability and ease of use, it’s not compatible with self hosting so I keep them separate

    I host using an M1 Mac Mini using Fedora Asahi Linux. Installed easily, no problems. Fast and quiet!

    I ran a Minecraft server for a while. Worked fine.
