Just installed this on a laptop. Really good. Love that it comes with steam, wine, lutris, and all that jazz preinstalled. Amazing docs and very easy to dual boot and put encryption on it. Highly recommend
Thats definitely been my experience. Easy to set up, easy to use, easy to game on. Simple, slick, and mostly transparent (I.E. Not getting in the way of tasks) to the user. everything an OS should be.
Time to shoot the newbie. First used Ubuntu 20.04 in 2022. It was a necessity at the time on that shitty laptop and I had never used Linux before. Wouldn't go back to using that distro or laptop ever again since I have upgraded.
Manjaro (Stable) with Plasma 6 (and broken Oxygen icons).
I plan to merge those icons with GNOME icons... which are also partial, but I am too lazy. I like their early 2010s 3D look, but currently nearly half my icons are just missing.
I should be able to just rsync them together I hope and name it something else. Then also rsync the default Breeze icons as a last resort. I should be able to do that with --ignore-existing I think.
Maaaaaaan I’ve wanted to try Asahi since its development took shape. I know I’m probably not that far off with my PBP running Fedora, but it’s just not the same…
Apple supposedly makes good hardware, and my '23 mbp in 14' has excellent battery, great trackpad, very good sound and a beast of a screen. Now I don't like whatever material these machines are made of, they are downright unpleasant to grab or touch, and the keyboard is abismal shit. I hate it, I am seriously not using it as much as I could not because Asahi, or Fedora, or bugs, or the availability of certain software for Arm64, but because of that shit keyboard. Asahi runs great, the full Pipewire sound stack developed for it is a pleasure to work on. Switch monitoring every which way, plug Firefox into Ardour and rip youtube, it all works, period.
To me M2 with 16g of ram is about on par with an intel i12 in everyday life. Sure it will win on rendering movies or some specific stuff, but day-to-day it's like my friend' Carbon X1 on Mint really.
