> The fact we still can't get this in the US is atrocious. To be honest, I suspect that Apple is purposefully doing this to make alternatives a logistical and legal nightmare vs th…

caveat being that GPU drivers on Android are kind of a mess. Open source Mesa Turnip drivers fixes a lot of problems with Snapdragon GPUs, but the drivers don't cover every availab…

I'm not sure I'd define the atomic Fedora variants as "distros" in the traditional sense. This is a bit of an oversimplification, but Bazzite, Bluefin, etc, are basically just Dock…

I actually think Microsoft is often ahead of it's time with it's consumer-facing products, but executes very poorly. So they have good foresight, but "very bad taste" when it comes…

Depends on how the user uses their computer. Web browser + maybe some printing? Throw on Linux Mint + Firefox + uBlock origin, hook up a compatible printer via usb cable, and call …

I wonder how viable Mac + Asahi Linux is right now. While I personally prefer AMD + Linux, for Macbook users perhaps Asahi can help break the dependency on MacOS. As for smartphone…
