“Do I look like I know what a Wayland is?”

Look, I agree its bad but let’s not blow it out of proportions here. It is not the “world’s strongest hurricane” it is only the 4th world’s strongest hurricane. Major difference.

But the machine needs those orphans to keep going! Why would we want to deprive the system of what it needs? Won’t anybody think of the shareholders!?!

Hello, pixel 8 grapheneOS user here. I was going to say that some bank apps don’t work like chase bank and I went to look for a compatibility list and it said it worked. As it turns out, I just had to enable a setting for that app and now it works just fine. So I guess look at the compatibility list and the comments listed.

It is only up until 2021 on the bad things trump has done but it is a long list none the less.

A bit ironic as he never pays for things either.

I was thinking the same thing, this is just too specific to not get it mentioned.

Achievement Unlocked: Mention Linux in a computer related thread!

100% of tech related posts have this achievement.

(Relax comrades, I too am a Linux disciple.)

A Dungeon & Daddies reference is not what I expected to see today either.

As soon as they came out with scale, I knew core was going to be cut off when scale got good enough. There are just more possibilities with what you can do with Linux. The extra community support can not be understated as valuable to a profit driven company. At the end of the day, they gotta eat too and having one base system instead of two is the way they need to do it. The features are growing much faster on scale than they ever were on core in my opinion.

The real question is could we ever really trust photographs before AI? Image manipulation has been a thing long before the digital camera and Photoshop. What makes these images we see actually real? Cameras have been miscapturing image data for as long as they have existed. Do the light levels in a photo match what was actually there according to the human eye? Usually not. What makes a photo real?

I have noticed a drop in average temperature and increased battery life on mine, personally.

I believe there is but I have never played.

According to their feature support page for M2, it appears it works now.

I am new to Wayland, but on asahi it is mandatory. So I am having to get used to it. Which is more noticeable as I had to change from i3 to sway. They are functionally identical but different in how you configure it with the wayland compositor.

For some reason I read it as Microsoft Flight Simulator: the walking dead. What an interesting concept. Trying to take off your plane while zombies are hanging on trying to get in. So you need to shake them off without crashing. More of a mini game concept, but still interesting.

Keep in mind that asahi cut out X11 support and went straight for wayland. It can support xwayland, just know that some things may or may not play nicely if the software doesn’t support wayland. As Wayland is the future of compositors, most popular Linux software should support it eventually.

Linux on arm is good, however as it is not nearly as popular in the desktop space as x86, common binaries for certain applications may not exist on arm if it closed source. You may or may not need those, you can make that judgement call.

Battery life is better than I expected but still not nearly as good as Macos. At least until they can come up with a proper solution for low power usage. Which currently a logistical problem of making something Linux kernel upstream compatible instead of applying a functional dirty solution now.

Linux on M1 is noticeably snappier than anything else I have ever used. It has a great future ahead of it. If your workloads don’t rely on heavy gpu usage and all your software can be found or compiled there. It is a pleasant experience. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I think some of the other users talked about the common things well enough.

Also yes, dual booting is currently the only supported option. They still need macos for firmware upgrades.

That would conflict with the proposed law. They want to be able to write what they want, not see what already exists.

Gotta love rich people, literally paving through all in their way.

History has taught us restricting access to knowledge never goes well. It will piss some people off, sure. Enough to make a difference? Can’t say, most people are indifferent. As long as they get AN answer, that’s all they care about. Not necessarily the correct one.
