Better software vs better hardware. Freedom and privacy vs luxury handcuffs.
- marknutter 6mo agoCan't you run linux on a macbook pro?
- jdhawk 6mo agonot well
- ulrikrasmussen 6mo agoI would not do that, mostly because Apple is, and always has been, doing what they can to create locked down platforms which are the antithesis of digital autonomy. Being able to run a different operating system is and never will be something they will actively support, and I will only expect that that possibility will go away in the future if they ever feel that it would threaten their amount of control. I will never transact with the company for that reason alone.
- einsteinx2 6mo agoOn M1 and M2 currently yes (M3 in progress). Check out the Asahi Linux project.
- vb-8448 6mo agoisn't asahi linux dead?
- einsteinx2 6mo agoNo not at all. Some of the original contributors stepped away, but they’re still active and have recently made a bunch of progress toward M3 support. Their blog is quite active: https://asahilinux.org/blog/ https://asahilinux.org/blog/ Announcements have been quiet for a while because they have been focusing on upstreaming their kernel changes, but more recently they’ve been adding new features and working on new model support again.
- vb-8448 6mo agoActually Mac software isn't that bad. The only thing I don't really like is the cmd+tab behaviour (and any third party alternative feels subpar) and the Finder.
