Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

NOTE: Time flies, and it's been almost five years(!) since I wrote this. Beaware the text below is now outdated (e.g., now Asahi Linux has graphics acceleration even better than this). The commands listed are up-to-date.

I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.

Console VIM and Tmux setup compatible with Mac OS X and Linux.

Installation

Install by running the following command in your terminal:
