I didn't make the meme, I saw it on twitter and thought it was funny in a self deprecating way.

I use all three, although primarily run Linux and macOS.

I think Apple's hardware offerings have really beaten the competition with their new M-series chips just outperforming everyone else with significantly less energy. You also get the advantage of macOS being a UNIX system, so if you're familiar with Linux, the same principles apply.

I switched from running Linux on my Surface Pro 3, then Linux on a Dell XPS 15, to a 14" MacBook Pro with the 10-core M1 Pro. I still use Linux on my desktop and love it, but macOS is very similar to Linux and apple's portable hardware beats everyone else by about 3 years or more imo. There are definitely some apple universe quirks but I wouldn't consider anyone else for a laptop for another few generations of competitors attempting to catch up with where apple was in 2021.

ARM, but Apple has the most advanced ARM chips and macOS /The AS Platform has the best amd64 to arm64 translation layer.

I mean at that point you're basically running macOS 😉

I couldn't imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it's an easy buy.

After owning an Apple ARM laptop I'd never go back to anything else.

Manjaro and Antergos are just asking for trouble. If you want Arch, use Arch. Otherwise Ubuntu, Debian, Linux Mint, and Fedora are popular.

I don't think the full Radeon suite is on Linux but there are tools for screen recording like simple screen recorder and OBS.

There is lots of 3rd party software available on all of these distros in their respective package managers, but Ubuntu has the advantage with PPAs allowing for more 3rd party repos to be easily added to the package manager.

HDR support is still very early/basic right now: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HDR_monitor_support

No wait at all at my place.

They line up to the electorate candidates from the same party.

Good Girl by Aquilo. It brings up a lot of relatable feelings around growing up Christian and ultimately is quite sweet.

The downside is all these greedy landlords make the prices outrageous so nobody can get a deposit on a house. It's easy when you already own one house because you can use it as collateral and also your tenants will pay off your mortgage.

No, you pay off their mortgage in exchange for not being homeless. All renting should be rent to buy. No renting without equity in exchange.

As you can see from the graph I’ve been experimenting with 6 bar shots for my medium roasts to enhance the sweet chocolatey characteristics. I like what I'm getting although it feels wrong haha

 

Interesting to see the balancing act of the foreign trip to China & the 5 Eyes having a meeting here. Definitely hard to keep everyone happy.

 

Featuring some art I did on a flat white I made.

 

I'm slowly getting better
