I stopped using them altogether when my job provisioned a YubiKey. Got one for personal usage and it's pretty solid for just about everything I'd have used a fingerprint sensor for.

Probably just spend more time contributing to foss projects. Maybe write technical documentation.

I've just assumed they don't care. They've done scummy shit for years, and it doesn't really matter because they'll still sell massive amounts of their first-party titles. So any bad faith they garner with a subset of their audience or old fans is just dust in the wind since it won't ultimately impact sales.

Would be really cool to see these new Snapdragon X Elite laptops shipping with Linux.

No particular order to these.

  • Yacht World (2020) - Engelwood
  • La Familia Pt. 3 (2021) - Always Proper
  • Yasuke (2021) - Flying Lotus
  • Lindo (2020) - emune

+1 for Helix. I found it recently and it feels way easier to make changes and add support for new languages.

It would be the exact same amount of effort you'd use to get new software on other distros. Both Arch and NixOS have very straightforward methods of installing new software that aren't any more difficult than doing so on Debian or some other distro. Both Arch and NixOS support independent package managers like flatpak and snap + they support Appimages.

I'd also add that OP doesn't even need to use NixOS to use nix packages, whereas Arch or Debian would require systems based on those distros. So if anything NixOS tries to make it very easy to add and configure software. Where does all the effort come in?

No that's "predestination". You're thinking of the process by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and a source of hydrogen, using light as an energy source.

Smart man. Ordering cheese sandwiches to go with the tomato soup he'll have at home

 

If so how is it? I'm heavily considering grabbing an M1 and trying it out if it's in a state where I can be productive.

For context, I use an M1 for work and it's awful only thanks to macOS. The hardware is excellent though. I can run an army of containers for hours, I can have OBS running in the background if I need to quickly record something, and I can have 2-3 JetBrains IDEs running without skipping a beat.

But I truly cannot comfortably use macOS in my personal space. I don't really want to go into my gripes with macOs; suffice to say it's not a route I'm willing to explore any further.

That said, I've tried to keep up with Asahi Linux but have not seen very much feedback from those who are using it.

If you are using it I'd love to hear some feedback on what you like or dislike about it. Does all your hardware work? Do all your standard linux applications work?

Edit: I dont really know how crossposting works in the Fediverse. Sorry if this thread shows up twice
