I am both a monthly supporter of the Asahi project and a full-time macOS user. Why? I love to support hackers. But I am also a realist and have given up on the idea of a linux laptop that "just works" and have embraced teh first party experience of the wholly integrated software and hardware experience of the apple ecosystem.
am I just a smooth brained dumb dumb that has drunk the koolaid? perhaps. but I don't lose sleep on it and am not tinkering with hardware, or software anymore, I just get stuff done now.

- gigatexal 6mo agoI had a P14 Thinkpad for work and had all sorts of issues with Wayland and streaming and what not. There's no issues on the Mac side things just work.
- bigyabai 6mo agoDoes it have a dGPU? My simple Intel iGPU Thinkpad hasn't had any noticeable Wayland-related issues in the past 3-4 years.
- gigatexal 6mo agoThis is the delulu Linux world thinking all over again. “Just get one with no dGPU, just this chipset, just this and this escoteric thing” and you’ll be fine.
- bigyabai 6mo agoThis is how macOS works, too. "Just buy this M.2 adapter and this transcode card but not that GPU" and your hardware will be supported for two major releases.
