ive considered it but i rly dont need another laptop rn. kinda same reason i haven't bought a steam deck. like i'm a linux user, i should support the linux people by using their projects and buying their hardware, but i just don't need it.
The new mac mini m4 is still slower than what i have and costs twice as much. It might beat the latest intel nuc in some situations, still if you want to do game development your stuck with what apple gives you. It's fine if you do UE5 or Unity3d but otherwise the Apple metal api wont always be made available which it's only up to apple if it is. I haven't in 20 years gotten a lInux system to become a practical desktop beyond running ruby apps. I had run Ubuntu for a year back in the day and I decided to upgrade the system which it went terrible wrong and switched back to windows and relearning things takes too much time so going back and forth wasn't worth for me. If someone paid me to develop on Linux or Apple I would have no problems whatsoever.
Yeah well, the M4 is a joke in some ways. I'm waiting to see what they ultimately end up as. IMHO the M1 and M2 lines were the best processor families apple released from this. The M3 and M4 have some gains but i'm not seeing the same boom the Apple got from releases like the M1 MacBook air. Even with no fan it runs Asahi pretty damn good and it's only getting better.
Agreed completely. I find it laughable when they go on how "Linux Phones" aren't there so they just can't see using. Like I went raw on Linux back in the 90s when it first came out and LiLo wasn't even a pipe dream (forget about grub). You can find some work around for the Linux Phone. The Asahi install on m-series is nothing to sneeze at though.
sadly a lot of the people i met that have linux phones had bad breakages like internal storage breaking right out of the box maybe someday theyll come out of dev devices and become end user accessible
@RealWaffles well honestly I think they are there. But it's just a matter of time. I've used Ubuntu, Droidian, Manjaro, and PostmarketOS on a pixel 3A XL and it had problems with it configs sometimes. but storage breakage was never a p oblem. Plus you have to remember Android is literally a modded Linux Kernel which is the only reason AOSP was so easy to implement. I think what you're referring to is OEM models like FLx1. Which yeah they're low grade hardware for high prices with cut back R&D so they're bound to have problems. And even if they don't their specs are always gonna be lower than a Samsung or Xaomi or LG. It's much easier to take a slightly older 5g from oneplus that we know runs a modded Linux and port the Linux kernel to it. I mean where do you think all the expertise for the M series came from. Asahi only went as quickly as it did because a lot of the Arm stuff was done porting Linux successfully to phones. I think the fact some of the phone experience is still bootstrapping your own install, Linux PCs circa 1990s-pre 20 teens is the bigger problem. Too many who call themselves a seasoned user expect an OOB (out of the box) experience when that's never been the way more advanced user experience worked before. We need more people to become accustomed to bricking and unbricking (which is normally far easier then it sounds) test devices again. And I'm not blaming the user. It's just that if you drive a car you should be able to change your oil and fill your tires as basic maintenance and we've seemed to get so far f om that mindset that we need a computer just to start the ignition up. Which sort of where the whole Tesla disaster comes from.
3:51 I hear ya! But I don't think you should beat yourself up over using things like discord (so many people use it over irc). I think it's becoming harder to be a content creator with only free software because of the hardware. Linux users should make good use of their computers for as long as possible rather than rushing off to get the latest and greatest.
yeah like i did a video on this a while ago "when does proprietary software become a problem" since my family uses spotify and i'm the only one that cares about account security, i manage their family plan and i even use it on linux since it has a linux client. i think when you start changing how you do things to accomodate proprietary software, like in the case of davinci resolve where people have to go out and buy a whole new computer/gpu, or they have to run a windows vm to play games with kernel level anticheat, they're going too far.
i mean i get ur point, but that mac mini is pretty insane for $599 if you put a piece of meat in front of a dog, it will eat it 🤷♂ (i can't think of this analogy for sheep)
I agree with you, if you're going to be a Linux youtuber, you need not just talk the talk but you need walk the walk. I personally don't care if they use a proprietary video editor Davinci or Lightworks or even Addobe Premiere on WINE if you can get it running as long as you're using Linux. If you're a Linux youtuber and you're not using Linux , what are you even doing?
there was a time where generally people used windows/macos because linux just wasn't there yet even for basic stuff like presentations. at the conference i was just at i saw 1 (one) linux user and he was a speaker. everyone else had macbooks or thinkpads running windows. one of the freebsd people did a presentation a few years back and she said i'm proud to stand here today saying i can do all of my daily tasks on freebsd. we're already there on linux, even for basic creative work like they're doing.
Six consoles, 10 computers, bunch of fuckin wires.

I see Matrix I see Soulseek I see QBit I Vencord....
Your truly cultured
I just bought a refurbished M1 Mac Mini to run Asahi

I wish all my plugins worked on Linux I would just use it instead of MacOs. I only us Mac for my DAW.
btw, are you transitioning? you sound a little sus...
lol no im on a lot of heavy meds so i probably sound a little stoned
