As a chip, the M1 is an absolutely amazing Sure, it is an amazing chip. But the delta is only large compared to the rehashed 14nm Intel chips that Macs shipped with in the last few years. Recent Ryzen-based APUs are in a similar ballpark

Me too, I ultimately ended up quite frustrated with the laptop. Same here. I used Macs since 2007 and the M1 MacBook Air basically ended my Mac tenure. The M1 felt like yet another step towards making the Mac more closed. The M1 is anothe

I had and liked the Sculpt, but also prefer a wired keyboard. I bought their new ergonomic keyboard, and I am pretty happy with it. It has a split. And even though the keys probably not Cherry or Topre-quality, they are quite ok. https:&#x

Used ZFS on Linux on NixOS as root for 2.5 years without any issues. NixOS does have good integration though, including automatically-run OS tests that verify that there are no regressions in ZFS support.

Huggingface fills the need for task based prediction when you have a GPU. With model distillation, you can make models that annotate hundreds of sentences per second on a single CPU with a library like Huggingface Transformers. For instan

Of those distributions, only Fedora sets SELinux to enforcing by default. Moreover, AFAIK Fedora (and RHEL) are the only distributions that had wide-scale testing of the reference policy [1] [2]. So, if you enable SELinux with the reference

The problem is largely X11. Wayland desktops such as GNOME + Wayland applications generally work very well with HiDPI. Even X11 applications work reasonably well on XWayland on e.g. GNOME, as long as all screens use 100% or 200% scaling. Un

I have used a 4k screen for several years now without any issues on GNOME with 200% scaling. However, I recently bought a ThinkPad T14 with a 1080p screen. With 100% scaling, the fonts and widgets are too small. The ideal scaling seems to b

And when comparing to Intel, which is usually well-supported by Linux: the kernel-side Intel GPU support had several nasty bugs that persisted through the first few 5.x kernel releases leading to graphics lockups. https://linuxre

One thing intel does have going for it is by and large excellent linux support for systems built on their hardware. While I haven't worked with the server side AMD gear, the state of AMD laptops and linux leaves a lot to be desired.

E.g. kernel updates requiring updates to various system packages is a legitimate issue of Nix OS. It's because upgrading the kernel also upgrades the kernel headers, and a lot of stuff uses those. I think on other distros they just co

Not HiDPI, but the ThinkPad T14 AMD is a pretty good business laptop with AMD Ryzen 7 Pro. Also with extensible memory and replaceable NVMe SSD as a cherry on top. There is also the less extendable but slimmer T14s. Source: I own a T14 AMD.

Interesting. I am in the EU as well and got the new terms of service screen. Only an Agree button, but I could avoid agreeing (I hope) by clicking the cross (X) at the top of the dialog.
