Oops, I did the upgrade and lost access.
Easy fix: create another partition from 27, install older macOS, boot into that and change startup disk back to Asahi

Really, fuck apple for all that shit
That's why I'm not buying their hardware, even if it often is good
They just fuck you over, because they want to keep you in their fucking walled garden.
Hopefully not getting redundant here, so I'll just finish with a fuck them!

That's shitty, but who is seriously spending that much on Apple hardware to run Linux on it?

What, Apple pulls a Windows?

Read it as "Apple's boot licker" wouldn't expect anything else from them.

Nice to see a corporation show some fear towards a community project.
Been very happily living in Asahi for the last few weeks. It's buggy, but totally usable for a daily driver. So usable that I'm tempted to obliterate the macOS partition entirely.

I remember I told one of the asahi devs (lina?) How shitty apple is and how they try to make it as hard as possible for them to make a linux that runs on apple computers. they got triggered, told me this is not the case and apple is very cooperative, then blocked me on mastodon.
guess they like the arrangement.

Oh look, Microsofts strategy to use whatever method to keep you (except of course making good and reliable software) and reminding you that your computer is theirs, not yours.

It was obvious from beginning that the excitement over ARM Macs was short sighted. Major hack jobs will continually require hacking around things. It's inevitably going to break. There will be unforseeably long periods of downtime. There always be periods of being to not upgrade yet. There will be unforeseen issues that cause this or that feature to be broken. It will always be buggy. It will always be X% working but we just need a few more breakthroughs (which never come). It's always Soon(TM).
Inevitably one of the main contributors will move on and the project dies. At best the X% working sees a major reduction. The next significant breakage results in much longer or indefinite period of time to find a new hack.
I was laughing at the talk about how Apple is being cooperative or whatever. Let's see Apple post the hardware reference manuals. Cooperative is being open.
This is bad, but also we're less than a week into a developer preview build here, we might want to hold our horses for a moment
Fix: Create another partition from macOS 27, install older macOS version, boot into it and change startup volume back to Asahi
I honestly don't understand what people even like about Apple. They aren't privacy focused at all. They still collect a lot of personalized data about you. And even if it's not as much as google, still doesn't make it good, just makes it less bad. And they store it securely somewhere on a "trust me bro" basis, promising to not tell anyone else.
Apart from that: Apple is trying everything to avoid you realizing that you're using a computer. Personally, I find IT experts using apple computers to be contradictory of some sorts, because of apple's attempt at hiding the actual computer from you.
I understand that having a 1kg metal frame in front of you feels great & premium, but that can't seriously be one of the major selling points...
