    Debian looking for testers with Apple M1/M2 machines

    Description:
    Debian's Bananas team has put
    out a call for people with Apple M1 or M2 systems to help test
    Debian on those machines: The Bananas Team has set up an installer at with images
    for GNOME, KDE and console installations. While we'd like to build an
    actual Debian installer sooner or later (we may need a heads-up from the Debian Images team for that), at this time we only provide an asahi-type installer, which installs both the "bootloader" and the OS partitions to
    disk from the network (as opposed to only installing the bootloader and
    then letting you install Debian using a d-i USB stick). We haven't
    forked Trixie from Testing yet, so what you'll get is Debian Testing
    quite deep into the freeze.
