This repository contains kiwi configs and rpmbuild spec files in order to install openSUSE Tumbleweed to an Apple Silicon machine. I don't plan on releasing images for installation of others as these require commitment and dedication. This repository primarily serves as backup for me but hopefully it will be useful for others.
If you intend to use these to install a daily driver system, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND to just use the official Fedora Asahi Remix release or any of the distributions in this list: . It will save yourself from issues and headaches as the files here need more polishing and rigourous testing.
Please use at your own risk.
I am currently running openSUSE Tumbleweed on an Apple Macbook Air M1 (2020).
- Create meta packages
- Cleanup spec files
- Add post install and uninstall scripts to kernel spec
- Automate post-installation configs
- Swap file creation
The initial creation of the packages and installation image was done in openSUSE Tumbleweed running in macOS via UTM. All updates to the packages were performed in the actual openSUSE Tumbleweed installation via local OBS.
In a nutshell, the flow of the building process is:
- Generate packages using the provided spec files (refer to OBS project) or use built packages from OBS (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK)
- Create local repository (createrepo)
- Configure installation image by editing kiwi config files
- Generate raw image using kiwi-ng script
- Generate the installer images using the make-installer script
- Host the generated tar archive using a local http server
- Create installer using asahi-installer (or just use/patch the official one)
- Run the installer
Good luck :D
