From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

hi, I've been pretty happy with macOS recently on my m1 MacBook, really only because I've been paying for software from awesome devs who make great apps (plenty are open source, so most I use are not paid) and I've found my productivity increase like a lot.

It's like I'm fighting less with the computer and the OS, and sorta working together with it. Since it's a mac though it's still a pain. When I install things with brew or software straight from the dev I need to do this dance to be able to use it (since it's from an 'unidentified' developer).

I wanted to try out Asahi, I saw that there was a new version released recently, any folks here who daily drive it and could share their experience? This is currently my main machine so I'm a bit hesitant in swapping over (I guess I could dual boot?) and school is out atm so I have a bit of time to troubleshoot and feel comfortable in a new environment.

thanks in advance~

EDIT: I am mostly familiar with Debian/ubuntu, I run stuff headless and SSH into it, like at the moment I have a proxmox 8 server and some raspberry pi's that I use to host stuff. I have a windows 11 pc which I use for playing some games and to run certain kinds of software.
