I hate how microsoft seems to think they own the term PC now and it can mean anything they want. Some of the "Copilot+ PCs" they're advertising on things like this have ARM CPUs which means they aren't PCs. I would even argue that a lot of x86 computers aren't PCs now because they only support UEFI booting so aren't PC compatible. They need to just call them computers or come up with a new term

My aging windows tower and retired work laptop were both struggling to keep up with my photo and video editing. Linux asnt an option for Capture One and Davinci Resolve, and the writing was on the wall for what Windows is becoming.

Combined with the failures in Intel Raptor/Alder lake CPUs, I took an unexpected leap into the realm of Apple silicon with an M4 Pro Mac Mini.

Apple is not a perfect company, but this new machine processes video faster than anything I've ever used, and for the first time since the 2010s it has replaceable (proprietary) storage.

I strangely find my self praising apple lately. Not because they're good or because I stopped hating their guts. But just because microsoft has become SOO SHIT!

Apple has also cough up in many regards, tho I'm talking mainly phones here now.

While I swear by Linux, I'm now more likely to recommend MacOS over Windows to people.

Linux asnt an option for ... Davinci Resolve

Davinci Resolve has a Linux download button on their website. So it should be ok. Admittedly I haven't used that specific program on Linux, so I can't say for sure it's ok or not.

Yeah, Apple did a real good job with their processors in the last few years. Intel was holding them back hard. It's amazing how much better the new systems are compared to just a few years ago.

Ah I did not know about Resolve on Linux. Capture One would have been my biggest issue then.

Apple sure did do a great job with the M series, and the fact that their laptop line can have such impressive performance without looking like an alien space ship means that I can easily take editing on the go with the same media catalogs from my USB-C thunderbolt drives without running into directory mapping issues when I switch back and forth.

I'm no fan of apples, but I have to admit, their switch to arm silicon is really cool!

I'm about to rebuild my dev box and I'm seriously considering a Kinoite host with a Windows 10 LTS guest. Anyone have a good Fedora-centric guide to kvm?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

On my kinoite computer i just create a fedora distrobox container, install qemu on it, and boot my vms off that, works quite well, no fiddling with the filesystem or systemd services

Microsoft sucks, but surely they have to know that already

No. I want to keep my VR headset.
