Ubuntu is really good these days. If you bought into the apple ecosystem with a recent Mac I’d not bother. But for those of your running a PC Ubuntu is incredible and their new App Store makes finding and installing software super easy. My workstation pc with Ubuntu is insanely faster than my Mac Studio when it comes to jetbrains IDEs. It’s so snappy I first couldn’t believe the performance diff.
How would you install Ubuntu on an M1-M3 Macbook?

#22Window tiling! If you drag a single window to the top does it maximize, and unmaximize when you drag it away? That's been my most wanted feature in macOS since forever (yes I have tried the third party ones). I don't really care about tiling multiple windows, but I've always hated the macOS full screen behavior, and before that the old green button behavior, so an alternative that finally works well (the way Windows…
Is it better than Swish? I recently discovered this and it's game changing for trackpad users https://highlyopinionated.co/swish/
That does look pretty cool. Unfortunately my experience with third party window management features has been bad.

#23Aside from the traditional and expected bells and whistles, are there any major core improvements?

#24I updated, and my whole Elixir/JS setup works like before. I like that they _finally_ added window snapping to the window manager, but keyboard shortcuts are still missing from what I can see. Edit: it is possible! take a look at this Reddit post for a workaround https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1dcy6l2/comment/lax9...
I have been using a little app called Rectangle[1] for years now, and it solves every possible window positioning need I have ever had. No ads, no cost.
As far as the conversation goes, 1st party implementation by Apple would be nice and all, but 3rd party doesn't bother me in the slightest. (at least in this case)

#25I know I'll be seen as an Apple fanbot for saying it, but holy schmoley Apple's operating system-fu just leaves Windows in the dust.

Answering my own question, it looks like window tiling is finally solved.

#27I am usually slow to upgrade but I jumped on this and iOS 18 immediately because of "iPhone Mirroring". I've only had it for a few minutes, but it's really nice!
is it just what scrcpy has been doing for some years already ?

#29> With many of the Apple Intelligence models running entirely on device, as well as the introduction of Private Cloud Compute — which extends the privacy and security of Apple devices into the cloud to unlock even more intelligence — Apple Intelligence introduces an extraordinary step forward for privacy in artificial intelligence. They've said this in every mention of Apple AI since the WWDC, but they haven't mentio…
In the beta builds with Apple Intelligence, it is possible to turn the entire feature set off (including cloud calls). Don’t think you can keep the local features and skip the cloud though.

#30Thanks to the new API that comes with Sequoia, I developed a new translator app for Menu Bar that doesn’t require internet connection. If you are interested, please have a look: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/offline-translate-translator/i...
congrats on your App!
