I am insanely interested but the apple ecosystem sucks. I use a MacBook for work because it's that or Windows, but good lord do i hate the closed source walled garden. Linux at home ftw.

MacOS is waaay better for that than iOS though. If you squint a little and try to stick to the CLI, you can pretend it's Linux.

Or, run docker and have actual Linux.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That docker engine still runs in a small Linux vm.

And the m1, m2, etc chips killed the use of VirtualBox for running full fledged vms :/

UTM will run full fledged linux just fine on Apple Silicon.

Sharing host file systems is still tougher than Virtualbox, but time and adoption will remedy that.

The problem is creating isos and vagrantfiles for the common denominator that can be shared via git and artifactory

Lol I do that too, but that's hardly a viable desktop experience on its own.

but that’s hardly a viable desktop experience on its own.

Wat?

I just don't get it, have you tried using Linux on desktop or are you just repeating standard phrases about it thinking that sounds normal?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think you might have thought I was saying "Linux doesn't offer a viable desktop experience." That is not what I'm saying. I've installed Linux distros on all sorts of machines, including Macs, and happily used it as a daily driver.

I'm saying that a Docker container on a Macbook can't offer a viable desktop experience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah. Yep, likely true.

Lol kay cool :)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how I can open the screen on my mac and immediately continue where I left off. I love how the entire laptop is made out of metal that doesn't bend or warp and whose hinge works today just like it did half a decade ago.

I hate everything else about the mac, especially how I have to pay inflated prices for everything. I hate even more about how fucking hard it is to get into the actual nitty gritty system settings on a mac. If I could find a reasonably priced laptop with great build quality and immediate boot, I'd throw my mac in the garbage or sell it off to someone else who would appreciate it much more.

I guess I dont really need to mention I'm poor. If I wasnt Id already have got a second laptop that ran not-macOS
