   Was wiping my Mac mini earlier this morning so that I could get a clean slate after homebrew messing up my compilation environment. Also wiped Asahi Linux as it was a broken install anyways.

   Forgot you’re supposed to use the terminal to delete the partitions; but overall the UX of installing and removing Asahi Linux is just… a jankfest. Not that I have time to fix it.

     Though with how many people in open source developing user facing software with themselves in mind, garbage ux is a given.

     To be fair it does take a lot of work to do things right.

     The average person who just wants to get XYZ done is not a massive nerd and you can assume they don’t know and don’t care about the internals of your tool, they just want to get stuff done. That’s why making good UX is so important.

     How I would fix asahi’s installation flow would be to make an actual graphical installer, ship an app in a DMG which allows beginning the install as well as remove Asahi.

     Create a secondary mini app which graphically guides the user through setting up their install after the reboot. Maybe use Swift for it or smth

     Maybe even add a small partitioning tool in there so you can decide to create extra ext4 partitions if you desire.
