New macOS is bloatware that makes your computer slower

So install Asahi Linux?
- handedness 2mo ago
  Asahi is a very cool project, and worthwhile if someone goes into it well aware of the major tradeoffs they're making, including reduced hardware functionality and support, which is improving, and significantly degraded security, which will likely always be the case. macOS is the only OS which fully supports M1 hardware and its security features. Please see Asahi Linux's documentation: https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m1/#m1-devices https://asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m1/#m1-...

    > and worthwhile if someone goes into it well aware of the major tradeoffs they're making Are you suggesting me to write all tradeoffs of everything that I suggest?

      It would be completely unreasonable for me to suggest such a thing. You can tell that I didn't because I would have written "all tradeoffs," not "major tradeoffs," before I provided a grand total of two tradeoffs in a single sentence. I don't know how one could arrive at that conclusion. "So install Asahi Linux?" lacks substance. While I'm sure some four-word responses can contain a great deal of substance, this one didn't. Stating even a single tradeoff or implication of your suggestion would have been one way to have contributed something of substance. There are other ways, of course. You reached for none of them in that comment. A substantive comment really shouldn't resemble something which could be achieved via a small set of macros. Shallow promotion also runs the very real risk of turning people off of what you're promoting, and I actually agree with you on the value of some of your favorite software projects (even if our reasons may not fully align). In both positive and negative forms, a shallow one-liner may cause others to take the few seconds you didn't to add basic context which could prevent casual observers from being potentially misled or misinformed, or from taking a needlessly dim view of something due to consistently deficient messaging.
