Most of Apple users I've met master the art of turning Apple's crap decisions into features and advantages over the competition.

I lost all faith in those folks being reasonable.

It happens all the time in the magical world of closed source, too.

Ever heard about the iOS vs Android fights? How people shame Android users for being green bubbles?

It's just the extension of the my camp vs theirs applied to the tech field, nothing new.

Any modern browser will probably kill your setup anyway.

Fucking finally!

Where did you get this from?

Laptops usually have a dedicated key to turn off the screen, no?

KDE uses less RAM, you can fact check quite easily.

Depending on the distro it ships with more or less stuff, but a few games, an office suite, media players for audio/video and in some cases a partition manager, are all necessary tools in any setup, at least in my book.

I don't see the bloat.

I'm also just a normal tech person, so my answers may be inaccurate.

My understanding is:

1. ARM seems superior in the mobile computing domain where efficiency matters more than raw power. I wonder if that's related to the RISC vs CISC instructions... if that's the case, having an open architecture alternative to ARM would allow any manufacturer to create their CPU designs without having to pay a hefty fee to ARM. Should bring more competition and won't keep manufacturers hostage of ARM. If ARMs raises their royalties 1000x, Apple, Qualcomm etc just have to comply for lack of alternatives, and consumers end up paying the price. This won't be possible with RISC-V
2. I can definitely see this happening, or at least having the option. OSs and apps will have to build for that new architecture of course, which takes time and money. I'm personally particularly excited about laptops
3. I guess. I don't think it's ever impossible to do this, it's always a matter of how much of an impact it has on performances

If I said something stupid, please let me know, I'd like to learn about this!

Well look at that, no one seems to mention opensuse/Tumbleweed.

Great sign 👍🏻

Fedora also unscathed.

Two of my favorites, if not my absolute favorites.

Reminds me how much I hate Apple.

Thanks Google for making Android.

Now please turn the evil knob down a notch and go back being the awesome company you once were.

Edit: typo

Nope.

Yeah, fuck around and find out.
