Unfortunately when I use HDMI with this portable display I need a separate power plug to drive the display (and I also lost the mini-hdmi/mini-display port cable that connects to the portable display lmaooo) so I guess I'll just reserve that for places where I can sit down!
This time setting up and getting started with Fedora was way better than my last experience last time I set this up with Arch. Only real hurdle was the flatpaks that didn't have ARM64 stuff in it; once I got that sorted and understood why things weren't running this was a mostly pleasant experience! Most of my issues, too, were distro-specific and nitpicks about UI, not really anything Asahi-applicable (save the USB-C thing), so this machine could likely serve as my daily driver! At least, when I'm not playing games. :p

Oh. Steam only distributes a .deb. Looks like I can't flatpak my way into an easy Steam install.
This is gonna be some super-painful, ultra-involved shit, isn't it?

I plugged in a secondary display through USB-C; it seems like it's not being recognized in any way, shape, or form. So no point bothering with that at all.

WHERE. THE FUCK. IS ARMCORD.

If you're reading this, I made it onto Twitter/pony.social with my Asahi Linux Firefox! So that's okay. Good news: uBlock Origin works just fine.
Bad news: KeePassXC fails when integrating with Mozilla Firefox. Seems like keepassxc-proxy is missing? Wasted 30min trying to fix, lol. I'm just gonna copy-paste things normally, secure and easy built-in password-fill be damned.

KeePassXC installs cleanly, so that's good. Now I just need to install Syncthing, and its GUI-friendly linux variant.
This is gonna go hella wrong; I used the AUR last time and the process was still so fucked up that it messed up a few things on the filesystem lmaom

Where the fuck is Armcord. I installed it; where the hell is it when I launch it?

Also; for all the shit I give to focus stealing applications, the fact that KDE Partition Mananger asked me for my password in a window that popped up behind EVERY OTHER WINDOW is kind of ass. I missed that prompt until I went hunting for it.

Now I am going to attempt to share my internet connection through the WiFi with my phone. I wonder how poorly this'll go... I'm also going to try to install Steam. Armcord is still missing, though! Wonder if it's stuck or if it won't relaunch....

Okay, not Dolphin but I need to set a mount point in the KDE Partition Mananger.
At least it was a one-click, simple-type affair once I went looking for it. It should still auto-mount at any old damn location. Pick a /mnt/ and just Do It At Boot, it's an internal disk damnit.

I'm sure someone will come through the woodwork and tell me to edit fstab or some other boot table shit but consider the following: I never have to do that under any other OS paradigm so this is 1 more step than I want to ever do. I wonder if Dolphin has a GUI option for automount.

And I am glad they did, because where the fuck did my Discord go??? I guess I need to relaunch. Also annoying is that my "shared" drive space is not automatically mounted. I know Linux people love to be very special about how they handle drives but this kind of sucks.

Glad that Armcord warns me.of how busted the Linux tray is right out of the gate. That's nice of them.

Leaving devices in plugged is a bad idea. It does not recognize my USB internet connection on boot, so I have to re-plug it every time. Maybe there's a setting for how USB stuff is handled? Either way, a good five minutes or confusion since it doesn't do weird shit with the WiFi.

Adventures with M1 Fedora Linux, ARM64 flavor. I'll out it all here so as to contain my rage into one easily-muted place.
