The issue is that it's hacky, and in that case I'd rather go with a Intel or AMD x86 system with more or less out of the box Linux support. What we're looking for is a performant ARM system where Linux is a first class citizen.
Curiously I found it a breeze since it didn't require digging out a flashable boot medium and pointing your BIOS to it. Calling a script from your normal desktop environment and having it automatically boot into the installer was really nice.

What's this about? The script takes care of resizing the macOS partitions and creating new ones for Linux.
The first time it ran ok. But I had no way to do it again. Spent hours trying to get the Mac partitioner to just clear out the space so I could re-run the installer. No dice.
In the end I did a factory reset of the whole macbook and then I could reinstall Asahi.
If I was less lazy I could probably find this answer online, but how do you find the battery life these days? I'd love to make the switch, but that's the only thing holding me back...
And it's a PITA to install (needs to be started within macosx, using scripts, with the partitions already in a good state)
