Get in losers, we're moving to Linux

I would rather not replace my MacBook with inferior hardware that doesn’t “just work”, and a narcissist calling me a loser isn’t very convincing.

I love Linux for its many great use cases, but replacing my MacBook ain’t it.

I use Linux everywhere but my laptop and I agree.

I used to run Arch on my work laptop but getting sleep and hibernate was such a pain I never did get it working quite right. My battery life was not great, partly due to the difficulties getting the system to prefer the iGPU over the nvidia GPU — however poor battery life is something I also experienced with windows laptops.

I’ve been running a MacBook since they switched to Apple Silicon and it would take a lot for me to switch back to a different laptop.

Those former macOS users who are preaching Linux like it's the best thing since sliced bread are the same ones who used to make fun of Linux back in the old days, it's so funny.

I dislike how they're building on top of Arch Linux and already see themselves as something completely different with their own doctrine, narcissism indeed.

There's Asahi if you're on M1 ;)

macOS has far too many optimisations for running on Apple Silicon that it's not really worth it. Even though Linux is a great OS, macOS just feels right to use and has a lot of optimisations on Mac hardware.
