And what's the ETA for M5 support?

Why not just suspend to disk? My Asus laptop with 32 GB of RAM is 4 years old, but resumes from the encrypted swap partition in under 5 seconds, which is fast enough for me.
Suspend-to-disk (or rather, suspend-then-hibernate) is notoriously unreliable on Linux. Hell, its occasionally unreliable on Windows and OEMs taper their firmware to Microsoft's spec and quirks.
I think buying a year old laptop helps give time for the quirks to get worked out in the kernel.
I was able to follow a fairly standard NixOS config with lvm and encrypted swap. I've never had any issues after hibernating a couple times a day for 3 years.

Or it could be a symbol of an unhealthy emotional attachment to Apple, that customers perceive to be symbiotic but business-wise is wholly parasitic. Like I said, Apple could be a real player... if they had any incentive to compete.
> Or it could be a symbol of an unhealthy emotional attachment to Apple Pretty hard to make that argument about people who explicitly want to get rid of Apple’s OS from their hardware.
Not really. Apple hardware is great, but MacOS sucks big time (compared to Linux).

If UEFI Secure Boot is enabled, Fedora kernels detect this and lockdown. And hibernation is then disabled. The reason is lack of an autheticated hibernation image. This work has had several proposals but still isn't implemented. I'm not sure of the status on other distro kernels but allowing it would be a significant bypass of Secure Boot's purpose.
Yeah, the security freaks basically broke hibernation across Linux ecosystem.

#115I have a 2021 MacBook Pro with an M1 Pro. It's getting a bit old, so it would be nice to replace it with a new MacBook Pro in not too long. But honestly, losing Linux support would be pretty devastating. Docker and virtualization just isn't the same. There's lots of interesting stuff you can do with your hardware in Linux, there's for example Linux-specific software which puts the WiFi card in promiscuous mode and do…
another POV is that Asahi Linux would get way more adoption if it were "just" a better way to run Linux VMs and containers on macOS.

I have a hard imagining a far right software project, can you explain this to me?
You should look into the political views of Omarchy's creator and sole developer, DHH
I tried, and all I found was some hearsay. Ethical concerns were raised by many publications without any specifics. Some mention the issue is building on top of hyprland, which (oh god, no) has some ethical issues.
I couldn't find anything specific.
Would appreciate a link to any based explanation

You still only need 1 powerful computer. Networks are so fast these days and we have stuff like Tailscale it’s pretty easy to use the laptop as a dumb terminal and do all your work still on the fast computer.
Completely depends on what you're doing. If you're working on GUI software for example, you need to run that on your local machine. This is much easier if you're compiling and running the software on the same machine. Then there are non-development tasks, like 3D modelling or video editing. Remote desktop is a kind of solution, but it's extremely sub par. Latency is not good unless you're on the same LAN in my experi…
Ever try Parsec or Moonlight/Sunshine? They're very low latency because they're made for gaming

I don't think any other competitor makes hardware of a similar class in terms of quality. Framework is great, but it doesn't even come close in terms of quality. Specs are one thing, how the product looks, feels, attention to detail, and most importantly: long term viability! even if you take away everything else, macbooks are though. I've used a couple for over a decade with no hardware repair (except when I broke a…
That's the thing. Even when you consider the hardware benefits. Let's say they're 10% better (I feel but happy to be corrected, that feels understated). There isn't a single machine out there that's even moderately close in terms of build quality. Either at the dollar cost for an entry series MacBook Pro or Air with 36GB (38?) memory. I don't think there's an OEM Linux or Windows laptop with Linux as a first class ci…
And then there’s battery life and sleep drain. Only a handful of competitors come close, and those have caveats like significantly reduced peak performance and the usual papercuts so common in the x86 laptop world.
It’s such a problem that if I were to switch away from Apple, I’d try to find a way to go desktop-exclusive and not use a laptop at all, because everything else on the market is so compromise-ridden as to not be worth the trouble. And I say this as the owner of an X series ThinkPad, which are among the better options in that world.
It’s as if most laptop manufacturers can’t be arsed to take their products seriously. So frustrating.

#119Twenty years ago people went to great lenghts to run the best OS available at that time on cheap commodity x86 hardware with hackintoshes. Fast forward to today, similar efforts are made to run linux on the best hardware available. It's funny how things turn around.
Hate to break it to you but before the term "hackintosh" existed there was an army of folks making linux work well on cheap commodity x86 hardware, the success of which ushered in the dot-com booms - filling datacenters across the globe with cheap x86 hardware running linux. A reality persisting to this day, though with far fewer players thanks to decades of consolidation.
The hackintosh is a far smaller and more ephemeral niche hardly qualifying as ever orienting the proverbial table.

You may find it inconsistent, and that's fine. But I do actually find it worse to buy from the explicitly political pro-fascist company than to buy from the "normal company" which just "incidentally" benefit fascist governments through their normal business operations.
I don’t see any mention of their explicit support for fascism on their homepage, can you justify this claim?
They haven't exactly been quiet about it. Here are some links;
