I use macOS. Among other things... :-)

My new system prompt: "No glazing. Just use a Yoda-like appropriate citation as conclusion." "> What Elixir library could I use for TUI ? [...] Much to learn about TUI libraries, y…

Hmmm... Smalltalk, a pure object-oriented language, stores everything in an image, and has tons of different browsers to inspect its "object soup". Install a Squeak Smalltalk if yo…

Oh, and let's move to RISC-V. ;-)

Correct. But being open source and distributed under the GPL is not enough. RedHat or SuSE have a more indeterminate future due to their shareholders control, frequent changes of o…

Debian Stable and Fedora answer to different use cases. I wouldn't use Fedora on any production server.

AFAICT, this is *not* a "European Union's (EU) initiative for developing a new Linux distribution initiative". This is: - a "*Community-led Proof-of-Concept* for a free Operating S…

Elixir ( https://elixir-lang.org ) and its Nx stack ( https://github.com/elixir-nx ), maybe ?

They did the popular Xserve, and the AWS before. They did A/UX, AIX (by IBM, of course), MkLinux and even Xenix (on the Lisa) way before OS/X. There was even a version of Netware f…

Very nice... but the https://www.digibarn.com/collections/screenshots/xerox-star-... picture has a Lisa screenshot ;-)

Although I have a Parallel license, I'm mostly using UTM. I have Debian/Ubuntu, NixOS, SUSE, Windows 11 VMs all running natively on ARM.

On a Mac keyboard, you have two Command and Option keys. That means you can combine your (left|right) thumb on the Command key and a (left|right) finger on another . Moreover, you …

Moreover: on macOS Cmd [-Option][-Shift][-Ctrl]- is always about a menu item/command shortcut; [Option][-Shift][-Ctrl]- is always about a glyph.

Try Cmd-w (close), Cmd-X (Cut), Cmd-C (Copy), Cmd-V (Paste), Cmd-Z (Undo), Cmd-A (Select All), Cmd-Q (Quit) with your left thumb on Command and the left index on the other key. Try…

What are your pain points, exactly?

You should also give MacPorts a try. Its heritage is from BSD ports but, contrary to some reports, it's well alive, stable and kicking ;-)

+1 for Moom :-) As for iTerm2, I found its native tmux integration pretty unique.

I use dotfiles on both Linux and macOS. From the same repository :-)

VirtualBox is a x86_64 hypervisor. They already stated they wouldn't run on the M1.

Yet. But work is in progress: https://asahilinux.org

UTM is a newcomer and still has rough edges but I managed to install Debian Buster with Gnome. Both in x86_64 (slow) and ARM64 (snappy :-) flavors.

This is a very bad security advice...

You should give MacPorts a try... MacPorts allows you to install multiple Python versions at the same time and I personally have several venvs with Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9..…
