Christ. Fr. I was so excited when the Asahi team started to show off Vulkan games on M1 chips. Once it’s had a bit of time in the oven I’m ripping MacOs out of an, otherwise, wonderful device for what I paid for it.

Maybe some sort of software that runs better on Windows when you can’t run it through a tool similar to Wine. Even for that subset of software doesn’t work after running it within a VM gets smaller too.

I’m unsure. I use Gnome (for ease honestly) and Fedora with Wayland, so (iirc) dynamic display stuff is a wash and I haven’t even explored yet since I just use the clamshell.

I may not be the most helpful for you :/

It gets better too. I suppose it depends on your distro and hand ware mix as for what works out of the box.

Eg. my pure AMD Rog Zephyrus laptop worked with Fedora pretty much “out of the box” once I enabled 3rd party drivers.

It’s kinda like switching to stick shift— it’s touch weird, but once you’ve daily driven it a bit the system is second nature.

I keep an Android and iPhone. Apps tend to be more polished/available on iOS versus Android. However, if you don’t plan on installing your own OS, use the UI customization (launchers and what not), or install apps via .apks — which isn a large percentage of the population — an iPhone is fine. Heck, you may save money if you either sell it second hand to finance your new phone, or use it until it doesn’t receive support. Heck, I’m in the camp of spending $799 on a handset in 2019 that will get major updates through 2026 and security updates through 2028/9 (should Apple follow their support pattern, of course).

Don’t get me wrong, I like my Pixel with GrapheneOS with its perfectly tuned UI, but if I’m flying out for a weekend trip — I’m bringing my iPhone along for reliability, and integration with the world around me.

What was weird was one of my friends who is “baffled by my choice of Linux” let me know about this subsystem and said “hey, look! There’s no reason to use Linux again!”

“… caught slowing down old models…”

Are you referring to the iPhone 7 thing?

Hey man, I work on a Microsoft full stack — VS corrupts files or locks up regularly 🤷That’s before we touch Windows on a server box

It depends on if I want the higher speeds or if I’m in a part of my house that doesn’t have perfect coverage (and suspect speeds as well)

Strangely enough, all of my devices lack an ethernet port so I have a few USB to Ethernet adapters around my house.

It depends. I do it from time to time whenever my internet connection is faster than my mobile data or I want to avoid hitting my data limit needlessly when I have a cord already in the room.

I haven’t come across them and I usually browse ALL. Is this a product of what lemmy.world defeded?

Plus the Mac is a wee skiff in the open sea.

I’m in the same position. My Linux machine is for gaming and … Interesting tasks that could be hazardous to set up on my Mac.

The hardware quality is sublime as well. However, dailing Linux for a bit and going back to MacOS made me appreciate it more. Homebrew is a hair slow tho 😂

I hope the usb-c and SE4 rumors are true. Honestly all I need out of a phone, for me. My Pixel6a might start showing its age (barely) at that point.

Man, I can’t wait until Asahi Linux starts humming, cause the only thing I don’t like about my Fedora system was the hardware itself.

This UI is gorgeous tho, nice work!

Oh yeah, I usually mod games like WoW or w.e. so the file structure lends to it being easily modded.

Hmm. This case comes up for me regularly. I usually have a hidden file on level lower than my home directory that is linked to the directory in question. I then launch nautilus, and drag and drop as needed.

If it happens often enough I create a bash script that automatically launches nautilus at that location.

Is it better? Prolly not, but it’s how I do it 😅

I usually click around the gui like a ham-fisted animal

I search in the terminal.

The tasks are separate for me. I usually launch the explorer at pwd to do my clicks, and close it.

I’ll test this stuff out of curiosity later tonight!!

It occurs to me now I never searched for anything through the explorer.
