Porting CentOS Stream to Apple Silicon Macs
summary
Claims a working CentOS Stream build running on Apple Silicon by reusing Fedora Asahi Remix and Asahi Linux work and shipping a CentOS-tailored kernel, bootloader and images. Builds use Kiwi image build tool, U-Boot → emulated UEFI → GRUB boot flow, packaged in COPR/CBS and produced on AWS (EC2, S3, CloudFront). Installer requires starting from macOS to lay images. Userland is mostly branched; GPU acceleration, touch bar and audio remain broken but fixable; supports M1/M2 laptops (not Mac Pro).
