#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
Ah I really wanted this too but it seems like it's not available in the EU. Does anyone understand why? Is it apple having a flap about recent DMA/Whatever regulations they don't like or is there an actual technical reason why what's probably a fancy version of VNC can't work without breaching European regulations?
Apple doesn’t say. I also think a Remote Desktop with fancy branding shouldn’t be hard to release safely and even allow 3rd party integrations.
They've made a statement, however weak: https://archive.is/Rl7Ue
“Due to the regulatory uncertainties brought about by the Digital Markets Act, we do not believe that we will be able to roll out three of these [new] features — iPhone Mirroring, SharePlay Screen Sharing enhancements and Apple Intelligence — to our EU users this year.”

is it just what scrcpy has been doing for some years already ?
It forwards notifications to your Mac too, even when a mirroring session isn't active.
But that was already part of continuity or was it previously limited to user activities?
It’s hilarious that Apple made such a big deal out of it and then failed to release it for everyone.

#55Ubuntu 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.
I don't mean to say your experience isn't real, but that isn't what I encountered at all with my last 12 years "waiting for Ubuntu to get good" (I am quoting myself here).
Every time I tried to install it to test if it was good, something broke for no reason. This happened to me on many PCs and many versions of Ubuntu.
The last time I tried 24.04, the installer crashed in the middle of the installation and I couldn't finish it.
If someone wants to test Ubuntu, I'd say you should try it, but do not get surprised if something very basic seems broken since that's my entire experience with the distro. I'd recommend Fedora instead.

#56Window 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…
If you hold option while dragging the window, yes. Otherwise dragging the window to the top of the screen is the method of moving it between spaces (e.g. separate desktop workspaces).

#59I recently got bored of Apple ecosystem. Was considering buying System76 for work, but thought that iPhone Mirroring feature would be really neat and decided to wait. Turns out it’s not available in EU because yadda yadda Apple threw a fit. Oh well.
> because yadda yadda Apple threw a fit
Publicly traded corporations generally engage in strategy. They don't "throw a fit".
You're suggesting some kind of emotional immaturity. That's not how these corporations generally operate.
I don't know why the iPhone mirroring isn't supported, but I can absolutely guarantee you it's not because anybody is "throwing a fit".

#60* Sequoia is available Proceeds to talk about new App features instead of OS ones.
When the apps are shipped bundled with the OS by the same company, and use new system framework/API features that are part of the OS what is really the distinction?
