You can throw Fedora Asahi on the M1 Mac and it will run Gnome, a browser and most regular apps just fine (e.g. VLC, LibreOffice) but you will run into trouble with Steam and lots of other apps. Might be fine for your usecase and Asahi is easy to install. You also keep a small partition with macOS, just in case.

If you want Apple hardware but full Linux (I get it) you could look for an even older intel based macbook, but beware to not get one with the T2 chip (they put that in from 2017 on or so) because that thing will break your will to exist when it comes to some drivers. Older macs though run most distros really well.

I used to be a heavy macOS user for decades and also love Gnome because they are very similar and tick all the boxes for OS aesthetics

Enslave the slavers? No thanks. They must be hanged and fed to the crows. Which is what they should have done with every slave owner or confederate general back then.

Stop ordering from Amazon

At least this time the visuals make sense

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.

First they make them system critical

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)

And SlopGPT is the ultimate yes machine, and that’s also why so many blindly follow its commands

Das mag ich. Spiegel, Spam.

Amazing

I guarantee you this is how several, if not most, fortune 500 companies currently operate. The 50k DOW is not just propped up by the circlejerk spending on imaginary RAM. There are bullshit reports being generated and presented every day.

I patiently wait. There is a diligent bureaucrat sitting somewhere going through fiscal reports line by line. It won’t add up… receipts will be requested… bubble goes pop
