michael MJD, is that you?

Use distrobox brother, it is really underrated, I use it on my fedora PC so I can have access to the AUR all the time, you could even use Debian with it and have access the the AUR on a 2 year out of date install, seriously, it is really worth the effort of checking out, changed my Linux experience forever.

use virt manager if you don’t want to mess around with settings; bare qemu-system-* if you have a bunch of patience

laptop

Firmware updates. Samsung doesn’t support Linux and so fwupd gets no security updates from them, fuck Samsung

i don’t, not at all, but still think elementaryOS looks beautiful! Like holy hell, even on their websites they manage to make their design look good!

huh. I think i’m from the ones who prefers lemmurs

very gaming indeed

they do, but it uses the lz4 algorithm by default, which doesn’t offer the highest compression rate, also the swapiness is not 100 by default.

don’t be silly, of course it’s not infinite ram, the only way to get infinite ram is if you download it.

11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 @ 4x 4.1GHz according to screenfetch, in practice i get at most 3.9ghz on cold days, and 3.4 on the other ones; the cpu is running at 70°C on idle right now.

send help, global warming and the local corporations are turning my nice little city into an unbearable hell

edit: screenfetch doesn’t seem to be accurate with temps, i’m getting 46°C at idle

lovely, hope this work gets merged into mainline soon

the worst part is that only one of these is an actual tablet pc

Why do you spell it as “m$ office”?

I think the neural engine works, but you need an out-of-tree kernel module. The asahi wiki talks about that, they say it is yet to be merged on mainline.

Gaming on arm is absolutely a thing… But not on the M’s… About the other chips it’s just on its infancy right now, fex-emu(https://github.com/szllzs/FEXEMU) and box64(https://github.com/ptitSeb/box64) are both capable of running wine, and of course steam. Games work, I don’t think its 100% of native speed, and the compatibility must not be perfect, but like wine/proton I’m sure it’s only going to get better.

The apple silicon devices have 16k pages kernels, while x86 is 4k pages, that would not be a problem if we had 4k page emulation/simulation on Linux, but we don’t, seems like macOS’s way of emulating 4k pages is wasteful to performance, and the contributors do not wish to make a similar implementation, so we don’t get one for now.

That is quite interesting, have you tried the edge kernel?

I don’t think its that “bad” current, but I’m sure you will have to wait for a bit, Qualcomm’s Linux kernel work is really not complete, and currently the only laptops you can get working with Linux are the thinkpad x13s and (maybe?) some other older models.

Not sure how unbothered your experience is going to be on any of these, and they’re all just as expensive as macs

Things are progressing really fast actually! Take a look at the feature support page
