I have NixOS installed on a 2009 MacBook Pro and it works well enough every time I pick it up. I'm probably also going to install it on a 2019 iMac once macOS stops getting security updates but I haven't tried it yet.

My point wasn't really about the capability of a phone compared to a computer. I have thoughts on that but it's not the point I was making. Assigning tasks to devices can be done due to the capabilities of each device but also due

Reading the comments on the Reddit thread is very interesting. Generally people are happy with Oracle but the reason is that their free tier is (even after the cut) so much generous than other providers. There is also a lot of justified dis
