Great idea piping a website straight into a shell.
seems to be clean bash script http://pastie.org/p/578asRpS0abo92Efj1YGLZ FWIW so seems safe to me
The script that actually does stuff is here https://de.mirror.asahilinux.org/installer/installer-v0.5.3....

On my x86 MBP, I run GNU/Linux in VMWare Fusion, full screen. That gives me a combination of both worlds, which I can easily switch between with 4-finger swipe. I did battery life tests running the same Linux distro natively vs in a VM on MacOS. What I found surprised me: battery life was better with the VM than native, so I stayed with the VM. When a VM is used, driver issues are effectively absent as Apple drivers…
> I run GNU/Linux in VMWare Fusion Just to be clear, is that an arm64 linux? Because emulating x86-64-linux still seems to be not very good.

#225I cannot wait for Linux to be fully usable on my Apple Silicon MBP. That is going to be such a killer environment to develop on. Crazy fast hardware, great high refresh screen, insane battery life, fantastic touchpad, gestures and keyboard. There is the potential that Windows games could run on it with some combination of x86 translation and Proton. Using MacOS on it feels like I have a ferrari with square wheels. Wa…
I seem to be in the minority, but I honestly don't get how people can develop productively on a laptop. The lack of full size keyboard, screen real estate, and uncomfortable touchpad compared to a mouse just feels horrible to me.
I’ve grown to hate using a mouse, and love the MacBook trackpad. Having your hands so close to both keyboard and trackpad means less travel time between.

#226Imho the only relevant parts left are: Sleep (which is being tackled right now), USB-C Extra displays (Also WIP) and Hardware Decode for video.
Linux 2013: Sleep support doesn’t work quite yet, but it’s being worked on right now Linux 2023: Sleep support doesn’t work quite yet, but it’s being worked on right now
You can thank Microsoft for the current mess. S0ix (aka "Modern Standby") doesn't even work right on Windows.

I do this also (with Arm64 Linux) but it does ruin your battery.

#228> Asahi is a Linux distribution that can run natively on Apple Silicon-based Macs due to some slick reverse engineering provided by members of the open source community. Moreover, running Asahi is perfectly legal because Apple formally allows booting non-macOS operating systems on their Apple Silicon platform. Umm how would it ever be not legal? Even if Apple doesn't formally allow it, you're free too so with your ow…

Do they ever sell old graviton machines as salvage? Arenithey on revision 3 now? I'd like one of those.
Not that I'm aware of. I'd be surprised if those machines were even usable outside Amazon's datacenter; they're likely to lack a lot of standard interfaces (certainly no display output, probably no Ethernet, USB, SATA, or PCIe, possibly no 120/240V AC input).
This was news to me. Interesting reading:

The MacBook desktop environment combined with the trackpad (and gestures) are a big contributor to being productive in that context (though it also sucks so bad in some scenarios).
Swipe left, swipe right, terminal, editor, browser, etc.
Swipe up, see all open windows.
Before long I am using a single laptop monitor about as effectively as a multi monitor desktop setup.
In general though, companies tend to issue laptops. So even if you have a desktop setup with multi monitors, keyboard, mouse (which I do and use daily), it will be backed by a laptop on a dock.
Personally, I like being able to work out and about. I work from cafes, planes, poolsides, my couch, my bed. That style of work limits your hardware choices
