Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

NOTE: Time flies, and it's been almost five years(!) since I wrote this. Beaware the text below is now outdated (e.g., now Asahi Linux has graphics acceleration even better than this). The commands listed are up-to-date.

I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.

	tell application "Safari"
	repeat with tabItem in tabs of window 1
	set link to URL of tabItem
	tell application id "cc.anybox.Anybox"
	save link
	end tell
	end repeat
	end tell

	#!/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript

	// Adapted from the original script of @deanishe
	// https://git.deanishe.net/deanishe/alfred-quit-apps/src/branch/master/DockApplications.js

	ObjC.import('AppKit')
	ObjC.import('stdlib')

	function run(argv) {
	let apps = ObjC.unwrap($.NSWorkspace.sharedWorkspace.runningApplications)

	const app = Application.currentApplication()
	app.includeStandardAdditions = true

	function getJSON(path) {
	const fullPath = path.replace(/^~/, app.pathTo('home folder'))
	const contents = app.read(fullPath)
	return JSON.parse(contents)
	}

	function run() {

	(function() {
	const scheme = 'goodlinks://x-callback-url/save'
	const search = new URLSearchParams()

	search.append('url', document.URL)

	window.open(`${scheme}?${search.toString()}`)
	})()

	# The following functions append/prepend the specified directory to the path variable specified by name
	# If the directory is already in the path, it is first removed and then appended/prepended.
	# Examples:
	#
	# Prepend `~/bin` to `$PATH`:
	# prepend_path PATH ~/bin
	#
	# Append `~bin` to `$PATH` instead:
	# append_path PATH ~/bin
	# (this will remove `~/bin` from the beginning of `$PATH` first)
