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.

none my dude, it installs just like it would install on a windows machine. the CPU is just a basic intel i7. It would be a different story if this was one of the newest M1x macs...

How's Asahi Linux going nowadays tho? I know it's probably not perfect but is it usable day to day?

It's usable-ish, but still kinda crashy and prone to occasionally imploding.

I wouldn't really use it as my sole daily driver, but for certain people doing certain things, it's probably fine.

(It needs another year, honestly.)

But those on the other hand work fine, probably for 4 more years if I assume correctly

I just realised this doesn't sound as impartial as it used to because it's kamala running, not joe. Oops.

Guess it could mean the dems?
