Numbers don’t add up

Asahi is great for putting fedora on the Apple silicon macs. But there are quite a few limitations (e.g. steam won’t work) so I would not recommend anyone to buy a mac for linux

Okay this is better

I recommend rocks next year

And luckily there are plenty of options out there for people who want to attach peripherals to their laptops. I’m just not one of them.

My ideal device has two C ports on each side and a solid trackpad like the mac books do, just without all the apple bullshit of locking stuff down. @tuxedocomputers, pretty please 👀

Good to know Dell makes these. I am running CachyOS on the 2020 Intel MacBook Air and it’s okay… she runs a bit hot, so battery life is about half of what I would get with macOS.

As much as I like the look of Apple hardware, I despise them locking everything down. I’m glad there are smart people out there, like the Asahi project, cracking those macs open.

I wish… unpopular opinion but I love Apple’s approach with the MBAir. I want a skinny device with 2-3 C Ports max.

I’m done with USB A, on the rare occasion I need it I gladly use an adapter to improve portability the other 90% of the time. Any hardware made for Linux by non-US companies has several A ports, a few C, ethernet, HDMI, SD card… nope, I got a tower with all the ports. My portable should stay portable.

Ditching lidar was madness, at least if you care about safety. Musk might’ve had a few brain cells left at one point, but the nonstop dose of horse‑tranquilizer is clearly wearing him out. He and his pals love llms because they see themselves in those bots: great at spitting out slick word chains, but with zero real understanding of anything.

It depends on your threat level.

For daily use the fingerprint sensor is just practical. I use it with a secondary pin, so finger and a short pin hits the right balance of security and convenience for me. If I cross borders or join a protest, biometrics are removed beforehand.

Smooth installation here with Vivaldi on Ubuntu (or fedora, not sure as I was distro hoppping a lot at the time)

Amazing
