How is this worse than a MBP that can’t “run the internals at full power” when it doesn’t take breaks to cool off (except maybe outside in winter?)? (Edit: my currently adjacent sibling comment claims that MBPs don’t run at full power off AC either, so their internal utilization seems strictly worse. Reminds me of how Apple arranged with Intel to buy a weaker (and presumably cooler and cheaper) variant of the Xeons available to anyone else for iMac Pros).

Depending on your definition of ‘the Linux experience’. For me X is half the GNU/Linux/*BSD experience: dwm, sxhkd, keynav, xcape, the Compose key, simple highlight + middle click/Shift+Insert copypasta. (Edit: xteddy, xeyes, xcowsay, buckle, etc. too).

Not that I as someone who has used Adobe products on macOS for a class and prefers free-as-in-freedom alternatives ever would.

- boogies 6y agoYep, now’s just the time to try elementaryOS or any free/libre OS and get weaned off Apple before addiction to macOS becomes more of a restrictive/oppressive/heavy burden than ever.
