> Pop OS is awesome. Yes, they are needing for to change name, however. "Pop_OS!" is very a stupid name, no low hyphen "_" charactir or exclimation in name is good. Only "Pop OS" is good.
I agree. But it is actually Pop!_OS :)

Is it? I see Geenbench gives the M1 as having 1733 (single) and 7652 (multi) GeekBench score, whereas a AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 5850U system has 1414 (single) and 8140 (multi), so the M1 is quite faster in single core than it (22%) and slower but close in multi-core (the AMD being 6% faster). And that's with the M1 having 4 slow cores for better battery life / consumption (with 8 full speed cores it would obliterate the 5850…
> And that's with the M1 having 4 slow cores for better battery life / consumption (with 8 full speed cores it would obliterate the 5850U). It's not really that simple. An M1 with 8 full speed cores would also consume significantly more power and would no longer work in something like the MacBook Air. On paper these CPUs are both targeting the same power budget, so if AMD can put 8 full-speed CPUs in the same power b…

iTerm2 is a beauty, is there a closest equivalent on Linux? There seem to be 25 popular choices especially now with the GPU-accelerated ones. Tried a few of the classics like Termite and they all seemed painfully outdated and crappy compared to iTerm.
I don’t get the love for iTerm2. I tried it before and see nothing appealing for me over the built in Terminap.app. And it seems to be slower too. On Linux, I just use whatever ship with the distro Gnome Terminal, Konsole... and they work fine.
This functionality may be available in other terms, but iTerm just seems to nail pretty much everything in one package. I just wish it was available for Linux.

There is for instance http://afiestas.org/appmenu-runner-meet-the-kde-hud/ , and I bet there are similar tools for Gnome. However, from what I heard of Unity, it seems to be a hell of a work to keep/maintain it running for all kind of programs (regarding the different UI toolkits).
Right. If KDE or Gnome were to automatically generate searchable actions as part of the toolkit, that would be enough to get me behind one of them as a toolkit.
Despite these standards we still don't have this feature widespread. It's a pity.

I switched from iTerm2 to Hyper, which has been great and is cross platform. https://hyper.is/
How is it with lots of text being displayed? VSC's terminal is unbearably laggy for me when there's more than like 10% of the terminal covered in text, is this similar?

AMD Laptop CPUs don't support thunderbolt.

Qt and GTK do, there is the freedesktop menu standard https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/menu-spec/ Despite these standards we still don't have this feature widespread. It's a pity.
For example, I want to change the printer settings in libre-office writer. That's under the "File" menu. Given that it has nothing to do with files, I don't look there. On a Mac I can search all application menu items from the "help" menu. Why can't I do that with all GTK3 applications? Or all Gnome applications if it's out-of-scope for GTK?

The difference is huge for me, especially for reading texts. The rending quality is night and day.
Between 1080 and WQHD, sure. But between WQHD and 4k?

As someone who went from a mac (for the last 15 years including several retina MBPs) to a 1920x1080 13" screen on a lemur pro, I really don't find that it makes a huge difference to me. I thought it would really irritate me but it doesn't.
Isn’t lemur pro 14”? As I’m mostly working on the terminal, reading/writing text, I’m also not seeing the lower DPI as a downgrade, having done the same switch as you.
