Clenching my crappy Dell laptop until Asahi looks relatively idiot proof...
- TacticalCoder 4y agoI'm running Linux on a LG Gram laptop and that beast feels way sturdier than any Mac laptop. It's lighter than any Mac laptop too (hence the LG "Gram" name, I guess). FWIW my Mac M1 laptop's screen died after about a year without any good reason. Meanwhile my years old MILSPEC LG Gram laptop keeps cranking just fine. Do I miss the retina display? Yes and no. I may miss the tiny pixels but I sure as heck do not miss the brittleness: a laptop has to feel like something you can count on. Not like some fragile piece of porcelain which you must take extra care of. Now I'm excited by Asahi too but in my case it'd be more for a desktop than a laptop (I think I'm really done with Mac laptops).
- shaunsingh 4y agoI had the opposite experience, had an LG Gram from work and it felt cheap in comparison to my m1 macbook pro. A while back I installed asahi on the macbook, best linux experience I've had so far. The trackpad and screen are still unrivaled, keyboard feels much better than the gram, and battery life is significantly better
