As soon as they came out with scale, I knew core was going to be cut off when scale got good enough. There are just more possibilities with what you can do with Linux. The extra community support can not be understated as valuable to a profit driven company. At the end of the day, they gotta eat too and having one base system instead of two is the way they need to do it. The features are growing much faster on scale than they ever were on core in my opinion.

Keep in mind that asahi cut out X11 support and went straight for wayland. It can support xwayland, just know that some things may or may not play nicely if the software doesn’t support wayland. As Wayland is the future of compositors, most popular Linux software should support it eventually.

Linux on arm is good, however as it is not nearly as popular in the desktop space as x86, common binaries for certain applications may not exist on arm if it closed source. You may or may not need those, you can make that judgement call.

Battery life is better than I expected but still not nearly as good as Macos. At least until they can come up with a proper solution for low power usage. Which currently a logistical problem of making something Linux kernel upstream compatible instead of applying a functional dirty solution now.

Linux on M1 is noticeably snappier than anything else I have ever used. It has a great future ahead of it. If your workloads don’t rely on heavy gpu usage and all your software can be found or compiled there. It is a pleasant experience. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. I think some of the other users talked about the common things well enough.

Also yes, dual booting is currently the only supported option. They still need macos for firmware upgrades.

I am new to Wayland, but on asahi it is mandatory. So I am having to get used to it. Which is more noticeable as I had to change from i3 to sway. They are functionally identical but different in how you configure it with the wayland compositor.

According to their feature support page for M2, it appears it works now.

From what I understand, there is an option to run transcoding servers standalone. So a single gen 5 pcie motherboard could run two alveo ma35d encoder cards and plow through a ton of encodes simultaneously. It wouldn’t be cheap of course, but in terms of running a media server hosting video, it is not impossible. This is the kind of thing in which groups of people working together would be more financially viable than separate.

I had to cancel my gym membership because my laziness took over, let’s be honest. I called expecting a huge battle and prepared for a trek. I said “Hi, my name is Bread. I would like to cancel my gym membership.” They said okay and immediately hung up. No new bill the next month.

A bit rude, but I won’t argue with results. Straight to the point.

Bread ,

That is 100% what she thought. I have no doubt about it. There are far too many people that come in that accidentally fell on a 12 inch girthy vegetable.

Bread ,

That’s the thing though. When we schedule those days off, it is more of a friendly notice than a request. I am going, you can’t stop me. If you would rather have to replace an employee and retrain them, be my guest. Its not worth it for them unless you do something easily replaceable.

Bread ,

That is exactly what I meant.

Bread ,

I agree and disagree. For the average low paying job that doesn’t require any skill or knowledge, a union is the only arguing power you have. However, if you are hard to replace because of skill/knowledge and you know it, the power balances back. You have the power to say no without consequences.

Obviously don’t push it to where the cost of replacing you is worth it for your employer, but you have more power than most realize. Making yourself invaluable only increases your say in how things go. So getting the time you requested off is certainly doable.

Bread ,

But for taking their requested vacations? I would highly doubt that for specialized employees. It is very costly to replace an employee like that. Unless the employer is an actual idiot (which can certainly be the case) they know they can’t afford to lose you.

If you work for the kind of employer that fires the very critical person for a job without a great reason for doing so, do you really want to stay there? They probably aren’t a great employer.

I can imagine a quick loss of circulation in the legs. Dogs are heavy.

Bread ,

To add to this, not one person has jail broken a steam deck. Not because it is impossible, but because it would be pointless.

Bread ,

I have to know, what inspired this presumably premade art? Is this normally a problem Bi Goth Girls have? I believe this has great meme potential.

Bread ,

Would you mind informing those of us who do not understand the dynamics of the relationship what happened to make things so bitter? Is it a one or two time event or a series of continuous bitter rivalry?

Bread ,

Well thank you for sharing, I learned something today.

Bread ,

If you are using Scale, it has been depreciated. Rather inconvenient for me as I have to come up with a new solution.

Bread ,

If it looks like a duck, walks like duck, and quacks like a duck. They might just be a UI designer.

Bread ,

Same here I only do mild stuff like look at computer parts, servers and burglar tools. Damn nosy bastards.

Bread ,

I agree. Love ZFS for the NAS, but for a single drive desktop system, it is almost pointless and in my experience slower for desktop usage. ZFS is great for what it was designed for.

Bread ,

Nas, Media server, device auto backups to nas, game server, chatgpt instance, Lemmy instance, a website, wiki, nextcloud, pihole, or home assistant.

If you intend to collect/store data or make more servers, a nas would probably be a good idea to have.
