     I'm using a 2020 M1 MacBook Pro (13-inch), with Sonoma 14.4.1 currently installed.
     Decided to shrink the main partition to the "minimum" size for now, which is not a fast process but it's moving along in the right direction! (Guessing it will take 15 to 20 minutes max)

     Partitioning done. So far, so good! Pretty straightforward instructions. I'm going with the KDE Plasma version.

     @jnv The truth is I'm not sure (yet)! The only option presented was resizing existing partitions, so I'm just going with the straightforward options this first time around. I suspect you'd be able to completely wipe the macOS partition with the right commands/tools, although the Recovery partition probably shouldn't be removed.

     @killyourfm Way to go! So, is this the only option or can you blow away Mac OS and have only Linux similar to a PC?

     It's installed! Crossing my fingers now, see you on the other side.

     Hello from the Fedora side! Everything seems to be working so far. That was relatively easy!

     @killyourfm @jnv You need the secondary partition, alas. But you can more or less ignore it once it’s all set up.

     @tuxlife Yes, this is a clean install and my first time with Fedora Asahi Remix.

     Well, this unfortunately needs to be said: this is the hottest my MacBook Pro has ever been. All I'm doing is downloading games via Steam -- which is technically running under x86 emulation, to be fair. But I'm going to guess battery life under Fedora Asaha Remix won't be stellar compared to macOS.

     @killyourfm are you on the linux-asahi kernel? Wondering if there's a difference in battery life at all. https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/M1-Series-Feature-Support

     @s31bz I'm using the Fedora Asahi Remix that just got released today. I would assume so. Yea, looks like 6.12.1-404.asahi.fc41.aarch64+16k
