Ubuntu Asahi provides scripts and hosted installers to build and install native Ubuntu images on Apple silicon Macs (M1/M2), built on top of Asahi Linux. It supports dual-booting alongside macOS with desktop and server Ubuntu releases.
Use cases
- install ubuntu on apple m1 macbook
- dual boot macos and linux on apple silicon
- run ubuntu on m2 mac mini
- replace fedora asahi with ubuntu on apple hardware
- build custom ubuntu images for asahi installer
- native linux desktop on apple silicon
When to choose
- you want Ubuntu specifically on Apple silicon rather than Fedora Asahi
- you need a dual-boot setup that preserves macOS for firmware updates
- you want graphics acceleration, sound, and webcam working out of the box
When to avoid
- you want to remove macOS entirely, which is unsupported
- you need day-one hardware feature parity with the reference Asahi distribution
- you need a distribution with a formal license file or long-term commercial support
