From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Well, that's a rant and a half. I've got a similar setup and don't see the same message, but that's still weird.
The good news is you don't actually have to know about Asahi, they're upsteaming all their work. If it's useful to you, you'll end up using it without even knowing
It just really winds me up. If I'm going to get caught in the crosshairs of petty drama, especially when I've literally only just heard of it, then I'm out. It's pathetic.
describing repeated targeted harassment for being transgender as “petty drama” is a bit disingenuous, no?
To be fair, I didn't know the reason - I didn't read any further than skimming the gist of the text. All I knew was 1. My access is being blocked 2. They are incorrectly assuming I'm from some other site 3. There's some drama between the two. And finally 4. I'm closing this tab. Those were my thoughts. It took mere seconds for me to lose interest in this distro forever. And it actually sounds cool, as an M1 Macbook owner.
If it is as you say then yeah, that's not just petty - but my point still stands, this is a fucking stupid way or going about this.
At some point, if people like you are being pushed away from the project, thats an acceptable price to pay for blocking all the harassment. Asahi has existed since the launch of apple ARM, your attitude stinks and it shows.
Who knows what they are using to make that determination. Obviously you need some tweaking. It sounds like you're reacting somewhat poorly though. Life goes on. There's other ways that you can see the site if you really want to. Think about it from their perspective.
