There exist a few linux hardware vendors (laptops, pcs, phones) out there. Is the community using them?

See https://linuxpreloaded.com/ for vendors

Are you running linux on all of them?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

5/7th of them :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

So all of them since that's a perfect score?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So not on the macs, I assume?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Correct. But I do tun Linux VMS on the mac's... so.. maybe

What led you to getting a mac?

Work issued, I was all thinkpads before, but It lasted 10 years... and that's a hell of a selling point.

Grew to appreciate the smooth interface. It's not Linux, but it is BSD I grew up on BSD. So I'm very comfortable with Macs. Get Brew running, a bunch of docker containers, it's a full-fledged environment. Get some QEMU VMs going and it does everything.
