As a longtime Mac user, my only hope is that this will bring down the cost of used PC laptops. Because I really need a portable machine for Linux.

Have you tried the Framework laptops? Speccing a DIY option gets you pretty close in price.

and you have to use sub atomic units to measure battery life

No but I am definitely considering it!

MacBook and Linux is not a happy combo tho, right? At least with apple silicon?

[–] deforestgump@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Nah. I have an older MacBook pro running Linux as a home server and it works great. Asahi Linux only works up to M2 Macs and even then the usage is limited.

Is it an Intel MacBook?

[–] GiorgioBoymoder@hexbear.net 1 points 1 day ago

may I ask how you're using it?

my "homeserver" is currently just a samba share on a raspberry pi with a big usb HDD, wired into my router.
