It would just be a bit-for-bit copy, so maybe it would work? I don't know what a trusted signed set is. I'm mystified about why I'm getting downvoted for that question. If it's inadvertently stupid of insulting to Apple users, wouldn't an explanation be more useful then trying to censor it?
Is it possible to boot a Linux Live CD on Apple Silicon Macs?
I think Linux runs on Apple hardware? I could be out of date, and it's completely locked-down these days.
Edit: I suppose it could explain the downvoting. "Apple doesn't let us boot Linux, you insensitive clod!"
> Time Machine is really quite good, all things considered. This comment page is full of examples of very real issue with Time Machine which will bite you at some point if you use it. It’s not quite good. It’s bug riddled and Apple refuses to actually do the work to fix it because they would rather you buy iCloud.
Backup systems are both complex and very very critical to many people – of course there will be somebody running into every conceivable edge case. But good or bad only make sense as evaluations relative to something. In my case, that's Linux (I never felt comfortable with any backup solution I looked at there while I was using it, especially not the Ubuntu built-in ones; maybe things have changed with btrfs now) and…
It appears “solid”, but the only test of a backup system is disaster recovery and I’ve had to attempt to get files from Time Machine drives before and it is hell.
iCloud Drive is also a bit iffy, it does a lot of weird shit with file meta data that can screw up file processing.
GIMP 3.0 is going to be released soon. That might interest you.
Ousted the front door, coming back by the backdoor: - “Maybe you’re using it wrong” - “It has greatly improved since Gimp 2.0”, - “It’s just doing things differently” - “It has 90% of the features of MS Office” seem to be the top arguments for trying Linux over Mac, again for the 20th time in 20 years, each time awfully bad. As Steve Jobs once said about Microsoft: “The problem is these people have no taste.” It’s co…
My backups work though. As a Linux user, it's exhausting watching people complain about macOS and Windows every single day on this site, because there's nothing you can do about. You're a captive prisoner on their platform.
For some of us, dealing with GIMP's warts is more tolerable than the alternatives.
you can fix it by buying a linux compatible laptop/pc or building one with known compatibility.
Oh cool, all I have to do is buy new hardware when the software breaks during updates or when Mercury is in retrograde
I would literally pay good money to watch some of you use Linux and try to figure out... you know, what's going on.
And or pay to know the actual truth about when the last time you used an up-to-date distro was.
My NixOS laptop is by far the most, stable consistent, unchanging device in my entire life. Speaking of which, shout-out Google for breaking LDAC on their most recent Pixel 9 updates.
> GIMP (or Glimpse, if you want a more modern UI) or Krita can definitely do pretty much anything Acorn can. I'm fairly certain that anyone who recommends GIMP hasn't really used GIMP.
Gimp and Libreoffice both seem to go out of their way to do everything their own way and ignore what has been demonstrated to work well and has essentially been established as a standard, this is one of the major issues with OSS for me along with trying to offer more than is reasonable and put in time on niche features (MORE MORE MORE) instead of working out the issues with what is already implemented. LibreCAD is a…

I haven't tried GIMP or LibreOffice for years now, but I speculate this is one outcome of ego-driven development instead of market-driven development, and possibly also because UX people aren't contributing as much to open source as developers are.
There is a technical reason that greatly benefits the user. The ability to guarantee the OS is unchanged, and to restore to factory defaults like on an iPhone are great benefits. Regulations on our OSes means we end up with Microsoft refusing to limit access to the kernel not to displease the EU, which led to the Crowdstrike outage.
A point is being missed here; The user, nor the provider of hardware/software can be hostile towards each other. Here's why: The cloud is someone else's computer, not yours. It's a shared drawer that you get a key to, but so do many others. If our main access to your drawer is through the programs on our computer, it also can be limited and broken for hours, days, or weeks while under repair. I'm not sure how many la…
There are many difficult technical and other important considerations and trade-offs and I think that Apple is answering them the majority of them as best it can. There are major benefits to having the kind of integration that Apple has, for example, the security chip and the wifi obviates theft of laptops and phones. You cannot get that with the traditional "PC starting from a boot partition" model. I lost a lot of respect for Apple when they seemingly limited the AirDrop sharing time coinciding with the protests against the government in China. I dread to think about what kind of compromises Tim Apple has made for the government of China, but then, there are many people who install and use TikTok voluntarily. It's fun to think about what if The Cloud™ was like a technoir IPFS running on top of peer-to-peer radio. You can make a decision to get out of your driveway huffing your new car's smell, and drive somewhere dirty with it.
Desktop linux has some market share in hollywood, I would think that market does matter to them as it did SGI etc.
Apple is sitting on a massive pile of cash but won't dedicate a team to develop their own Unix userland tools. That's how much they care about the underpinnings of MacOS and power users.
Can't argue with you there, even Windows has a package manager now.
> deep-sleep Didn't Apple kill deep sleep/hibernation when transitioning to ARM ? It was touted as "Always On Processor" to mimic the iOS and iPadOS management of CPU and never shut it down.
No, that does things like Hey Siri.
I'm failing to find the offical docs, but from the release reporting:
> One of the lesser known facts about the Apple M1 chip is it has an always-on processor. This means that even when your Mac goes to sleep, it isn't really completely asleep. Macs with Intel chips have had a feature called Power Nap for a while now. M1 Macs don't need that feature because it's built-in and automatically running at all times.
