Ran Asahi for several months, tried it out again recently. It’s good/fine, I just don’t love fedora.

There’s some funkiness with the more complicated install, the AI acceleration doesn’t work, no thunderbolt / docking station.

MacBooks are great hardware but I don’t think they’re the best option for Linux right now. If you’re never going to boot into macOS then I’d look for x13, new Qualcomm, isn’t there a framework arm64 option now or was that a RISC module?

I’m also assuming you’re not looking to do any gaming? Because gaming on ARM is not really a thing right now and doesn’t feel like it will be for a long while.

I’m really curious how the visor headset gets reviewed and performs. Their subscription pricing model is interesting.

VR has had some interesting success in the last few years but it feels like a tough job to strike the right balance on cost and performance.

It’s not a cinematic masterpiece but it had a distinctive look and vibe with a cool soundtrack, interestingly strange plot. I saw it again a few years ago and remembered why I liked it as an angsty teen.

Just throw a “I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message” on the end of that, 1 commercial, in the bag. Next.

Really love arch and the AUR. I've been tempted to get nix set up for the rare cases when there's no AUR package or the AUR package is unmaintained. I figure if there's no package in the AUR or nixpkgs, it's probably not worth running.

I’m a Unity noob and even more of a noob in Godot, but the c# development experience is so much better in Godot it’s ridiculous.

I remember what was it like 6 years ago when Unity announced moving towards .net core. I can appreciate thats a large effort, but they’ve made ridiculously little progress that I can see

btop reports some gpu, network and disk information that I don't think shows up in htop, feels a bit more comprehensive maybe? Both are fine, but I too use btop, it's nice.

Random trivia: I think btop has been rewritten like 3-5 times now? It's sort of an inside joke to the point that someone suggested another rewrite from C++ to Rust ( https://github.com/aristocratos/btop/issues/5 ). I guess the guy just likes writing system monitoring console apps.
