Project Description

The folks at Asahi linux have been working on porting linux on the Apple Silicon. In a recent blog post they announced they will be joining forces with Fedora on releasing a Fedora Asahi Remix. I would be happy to see this level of collaboration between Asahi and openSUSE community, too.

Goal for this Hackweek

Ideally, create an openSUSE spin that would benefit from the great work of the Asahi linux folks. A minimum requirement for success - is reaching out to them, and talk about the partnership opportunity.

Resources

I need help from the openSUSE board. Looks like Neal, wearing his Fedora, was already in contact with them. add-emoji

A few openSUSE hackers might be interested in experimenting with the stuff available in Asahi Linux repos.

Note: I doubt that I would be able to deliver anything useful for this project, but would be happy to take the challenge if anyone finds any use for me.

      Very cool project. I'm an early tester of Fedora Remix. No idea what's required to enable openSUSE, though.

      This would certainly be cool to do. add-emoji

      I suppose the first thing would be to understand the installer script to see where we could plug-in our openSUSE bits

      I found a port of openSUSE on GitHub: https://github.com/ivabus/asahi-opensuse/

    Create openSUSE images for Arm/RISC-V boards by avicenzi

    Project Description

    Create openSUSE images (or test generic EFI images) for Arm and/or RISC-V boards that are not yet supported.

    Goal for this Hackweek

    Create bootable images of Tumbleweed for SBCs that currently have no images available or are untested.

    Consider generic EFI images where possible, as some boards can hold a bootloader.

    Document in the openSUSE Wiki how to flash and use the image for a given board.

    Boards that I have around and there are no images:

    • Rock 3B
    • Nano PC T3 Plus
    • Lichee RV D1
    • StartFive VisionFive (has some image needs testing)
