I mostly see Asahi Linux as a way to keep these M Macs in use once they’re too old to get official updates and once they become really cheap on the used market.

If on top of this Apple is forced to bring back some repairability/upgradeability, it would be great.

Buying an used computer is the only thing environnementaly friendlier than buying something from a brand like Framework.

Well thanks it works. Do you know if there is a way for GNOME sushi to be the default PDF viewer when you click on a file? I’ve tried putting the explorer as the defautlt since sushi is part of it but it doesn’t work.

It worked.

All I had to do:

sudo ls /boot | grep vmlinuz sudo grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-6.12.11-200.fc41.x86_64 sudo dnf autoremove

Thanks a lot

Thanks, I’ll check it out👍

Thanks for the answer, but then how do I remove all of these packages?

I haven’t found a proper answer on the web.

I’m sorry to judge you, but I don’t think a 2 year old should be using a computer.

I think it’s important for kids to learn how to really use a computer (instead of just a smartphone), but it’s mostly important to show them they can have fun away from screens.

I understand what you’re saying and I guess it’s true that some people are just finding excuses.

But I think you also lack some empathy towards everyone ´s user’s case.

Personnaly, switching fully to Linux was pretty easy as 99% of my gaming is being done on Playstation.

On my playstation 5 I can know for sure that I can play every game I fancy.

Why am I gaming on consoles? Mostly because it involves no tinkering.

So, despite having gotten rid of Windows a while ago, I would easily give up if I had to tinker to get a game running.

I know that gaming on Linux as never been so easy, but gaming on PC (windows or linux) looks already too difficult for some people with all the requirements.

I might jump to a Linux gaming rig in the future, but I can also understand why some people are choosing an easy path.

Netflix works flawlessly on Fedora. No streaming problem except with Nba basketball.

I also don’t really care about more people switching to Linux, except for the fact that it’s gonna force developers to make their games run on Linux.

There’ll also be some downsides with more people using linux, like more viruses…

In a way, I’d focus more on the fact that it would be cool if more people used Linux on phones instead of ios/Android. That could make it easier to run at one point…

A Surface Go 1 has been my daily driver for the last 4 years on Fedora.

I’m mostly using it docked to a USB-C screen but it works fine by itself. I’m also using a keyboard so it’s mostly a PC and not a tablet anymore😅

But I’m really happy with it and it works almost flawlessly.

I’m running Linux mainly on a Microsoft Surface Go 1 and on a 2012 MacBook Pro occasionaly, so no friendly Linux machines.

On the Surface Go, except getting it to boot on the USB drive and some bluetooth problems everything works flawlessely.

On the MacBook, except a wifi card problem once a year, everything works fine.

I’m running Fedora Workstation and was using Ubuntu before (Fedora suits me better). Maybe you should try one of these distributions before trying a more difficult one.

I’m really encountering less bugs than on Windows at work.

Thanks for the info 👍

Is it something enabled by default or are you forced to go through a lot of customization to arrive to this result?

I love GNOME and the way you just open everything in a full screen window and just switch workspaces easily.

I find it so much better than just switching windows the way I have to do on Windows 10 at work.

I might be tempted to try to have the same workflow on KDE one day as personnalisation might a bit too limited on GNOME. Does anyone know if you can do it?

It makes me feel so nostalgic.

I still remember trying something alien called Linux on an old Dell Laptop (and also on my Playstation 3) I had inherited from my dad’s company. It was good that everything worked out of the box because I had not technical knowledge. I can’t know for sure but I guess it was a version of Ubuntu between 6.XX and 8.XX.

Then it was Linux all the time, until having a Windows dual boot in the mid-2010 before switching back to Linux fully at the beginning of the 2020’s.

No more Ubuntu though since I fell in love with Fedora.

Why?

Well you can use iTunes on Windows, so it’s not as if it was only on MacOs.

In my previous comment, I forgot to add the ability to easily clone one installation from one computer to another.

I’ve used Clonezilla on Linux but with mixed results.

I used it for a while and it helped but there were still issues from time to time so I’m just deciding to go wired for my mouse now

I’m really impressed by the fact that it’s so difficult to find something I miss even if I really try hard.

I’d say I miss being able to do a backup of my work iPhone with iTunes and not some obscure command line tool. But that’s about it and I’m not even sure I really need it since my company is trying to block reinstalling from a backup for safety reasons probably.

Linux has really become something that everyone can use day to day provided they have the right hardware and not something like my Surface Go where the bluetooth comes and goes.
