I heard Apex runs pretty good on Linux via Proton

Hi guys, about MacOsVentura and ApexLegends: Is it native playable with Metal3? No Apex Legends for Windows only Updating with Ventura now; I look to play Apex on Macbook Pro16 since 12months been lose with Geforce (cloud); is bootcamp useable now with Apple chip? Let me know if you can provide key for this ; seson 15 coming soon and havent played the 14 only got BP, pseudo Jiemx lvl 500+(2400 reset) Update MacOsV 30…

I'll be honest, I couldn't parse most of what you said, but I can at least confirm that there is no Bootcamp on Apple silicon, Apple didn't port it. So if you depend on Bootcamp for gaming, I fear you're out of luck on recent Macbooks.

NixOS then lives in the future, as that is exactly what it does!

Pff, FreeBSD and Illumos/Solaris have BE's (boot environments) since years

Can you give your system’s declarative configuration to another machine and boot into an equivalent one? :D

No they didn't. Find by Name… still exists. It's ⌃⇧⌘F (ctrl-shift-cmd-F). You might have missed it because it's a dynamic menu item (Find turns into Find by Name… once you press ⌃⇧). Tip: Use the Help menu to search menu items. I just pressed ⌘? and typed "Find" and Find by Name… popped up.

> I just pressed ⌘? and typed "Find" and Find by Name Damn, been using macOS for 9 years now and just found out about this :o Thanks!

The "Help" menu item is a major lifesaver and especially in complex apps (that is, those which actually take advantage of macOS' native menus, which sadly isn't a given nowadays).

For example Photoshop (and its colleagues) is darn near impossible for me to use on Windows — and at least 50% of the reason is absence of the "Help" menu search feature.

Snow Leopard was the peak

And Mavericks was the peak of GUI look-and-feel, before they went with the all-flat look.

I really loved Aqua (especially without the pinstripe backgrounds)

The flat look and feel is exactly that.

Strange. I started the update, had breakfast and after saying no to analytics could get back to work with everything looking basically the same. Yes, there are a boatload of new things. No, they don't pop up in your face and force you to change how you work.

Particularly not Stage Manager, which needs to be explicitly activated, right?

Exactly

Yes.

With FreeBSD I can 'send' entire BE to other system and boot it there - which I often do.

Just use:

    # zfs send  | ssh  zfs recv

I also sometimes installed FreeBSD/GhostBSD system in a VM and then 'send' it to physical hardware.

Hope that helps.

Oh but if you want to make calls with it you will need an iPhone. That's just them maximizing revenue, I guess.

It's incredibly annoying that I can't make a phone call with my cellular equipped iPad.

This prevents me from buying an iPad mini.

it is incredibly stupid that they did this, but i guess it does force you to buy both an iPad and iPhone?

Wow, clamshell to external monitor support is vastly improved. I couldn't believe it when it happened the first time. I have a MBA M2 going USB-C -> HDMI on a 4k Dell monitor. You can open and close the laptop and it switches the external from secondary to primary and back almost instantaneously. I'd describe this as a major improvement over every prior MacOS.

My M1 Macbook Pro did this already when I bought it last year, but it stopped working on a minor OS update. I wonder if this update will make it work again.

I updated and it does work again! Although it didn't at first when I plugged in my monitor. After about a minute the screen flickered off and on and then after that it supports the instant switch again... Strange

Everyone still has a phone, and it doesn't force me to buy an Apple phone, it just means the iPad is worth less to me. I'm left stuffing around with Skype or some other horrible voip system because Apple don't like the look of a phone icon on an iPad -- even if you're using AirPods!
