- Boot into macos

- make space - the last number is the space that macos will occupy

        diskutil apfs resizeContainer disk0s2 200GB

- run the installer, do not forget step2.sh

        curl -L https://mrcn.st/alxsh | sh

        Use the newest version (12.0.1 at the time of this writing) as the stub
        os version.

- Once you run the install, boot into the 'Options' menu again and install u-boot:

        curl -LO https://tg.st/u/u-boot.macho
        kmutil configure-boot -c u-boot.macho -V /Volumes/Linux

- Format a usb stick with a vfat partition on it, mount the partition and
  extract the following:

        cd /mnt
        curl -L https://tg.st/u/asahi-debian-live-2022-01-25.tar | tar -xf -

- In u-boot interrupt the boot loop by pressing return when prompted to. Use
  the following command to boot from the usb-stick. Loading the 256 MB initrd
  takes a while.

        run bootcmd_usb0

- Login with username 'root'. There is no password.

- If you have an ethernet card (mini or usb dongle), than get an IP:

        dhclient eth0

- Set the time:

        ntpdate pool.ntp.org

- Install any software you like, for example gnome:

        apt-get install gnome
        useradd -m -c 'user' user
        passwd user
        /etc/init.d/gdm3 start

- You can also use the live system to install Debian on the m1, the rough outline is:

        - Create two paritions:

                - One 1 GB vfat
                - Rest with ext4

        - Use debootstrap to bootstrap debian

        - Install grub

        - reboot

The exact steps follow once I find a little bit of time.
