Agreed! Knowing what I was getting myself into was the only reason I even bought my MacBook. One thing not mentioned in that write-up is that if you increase your swap file size to offset the limited RAM it’s surprisingly quick still, I assume due to a fast nvme drive. For my use case it’s perfect. I’m even able to run some LLMs using Ollama that don’t otherwise work with 8gb of memory.

For Windows machines I’ve found the Linux experience has vastly improved over the years. It seems that most mass-market hardware is functional right out of the box.

I think hibernate is a missing function - I’ve never tried it though. Here’s a good write-up on the pros/cons and potential issue depending on your use case :

Maybe not what you’re looking for, but I use Asahi Linux on an old M1 MacBook Air and it’s quite nice. I bought it used for $480 last year.

There are always people claiming Organic Maps or other OSM apps are perfect replacements for GMaps and I’m just curious what other tool these people were using for location based searches. Because it apparently wasn’t GMaps?

I think Geometric weather is abandoned but Breezy Weather is a newer fork that’s maintained. I recommend it!

Makes so much more sense than a Cybertruck or Ford Lightning!

@derivator wow it would be amazing if Infinity and Apollo could just plug into Lemmy using this proxy. Right now Jerboa is alright, but I’d immediately switch to Infinity.
