Can anyone share their experience with Asahi as a Daily Driver?

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....

IzyaKatzmann,

True, yeah I think I saw that mentioned somewhere, thanks for the heads up!

IzyaKatzmann,

hmm, yeah dual boot sounds like a good idea, thanks for sharing your experience!

IzyaKatzmann,

when I use a windows laptop, I don’t really take over my Mac habits (e.g. CMD-OPT-ESC, or using 4 finger pinch or 3 finger swipe up or down), however when using a MacBook even when remoting in to a windows computer I automatically use what I am used to on my MacBook.

do you find that you have some frustration with the user experience and interfacing with asahi linux on your MacBook? i.e. you use the gestures lets say that you would use and they don’t work, or rather, you could make it work but it’s too much trouble.

if it’s a painless kind of switch over, then I think I would be willing to learn or relearn or customize the desktop environment to my liking even if it took a bit of time. however if it’s bug-laden and ‘appears’ to be too much like macOS on the onset, it would probably be more trouble than it’s worth at the moment to use as a daily driver (dual booting in this case would make it even more confusing to demarcate for me).

so yeah that’s a lot to ask you for what your thoughts & experiences were…

IzyaKatzmann,

that’s fair, i’ll definitely have to see what the changes to my workflow are

IzyaKatzmann,

ah fair enough, thanks for the response!

IzyaKatzmann,

For folks that don’t know, Venter had a company, Celera, they competed with the Human Genome Project (HGP) run by the US Gov’t. They developed interesting techniques to sequence, I believe they are credited with shotgun sequencing.

How were they able to compete?? The HGP published all their work openly, Venter and co used the freely accessible data alongside their own proprietary methods to try and sequence the human genome first themselves.

If I recall correctly it was considered a tie and they both jointly published the first sequenced human genome in Science.

IzyaKatzmann,

Aw crap, my bad, appreciate the correction. I thought they applied it in a novel way or something? Anyways Venter’s business practice sucks.

IzyaKatzmann,

Eyyy, coming in with a save! Thanks! I appreciate the info.

IzyaKatzmann,

what do you mean refuse by principle to fix it? the solution that comes to mind is for a whitelist that is implemented either in federation broadly or lemmy specifically for certain categories (think TLDs) which are agreed to have a certain focus, like on literature or video games or music, where the instances themselves can join or link to.

kinda bypass a community being held hostage (or kept isolated) by an instance, the whitelists can be determined through a simple majority (first past the post) or any other method by members of communities rather than instance moderators/admins.

i get that many folks don’t like hexbear and i have nothing against them, i certainly don’t want to force them to see content they don’t want; giving granular control over specific content (not just a blacklist like per-user instance blocking) seems ideal.

what do you think?

IzyaKatzmann,

i have 2, syncing accounts some way between instances (maybe subscribe lists) would be nice.

IzyaKatzmann,

I believe I have the same experience you have, I think others have a different experience and it makes me curious as to why, I think there might be something interesting there and ignoring it or treating it minimally doesn’t seem to be ideal. If there’s a different kind of lemmy experience or set of interactions, I want to know, what is it?

IzyaKatzmann,

Interesting, I think I’ll take a look. You sorta skipper over what ‘normie’ or reddit behaviour was mentioned in his book specifically. Was it the lack of reading scientific articles you mentioned in another paragraph, that alone can’t be it right?

IzyaKatzmann,

Sometimes I think of things in the shower and after I’m done I can’t find the post I wanted to post in :/

IzyaKatzmann,

Oh yeah? I can be hostile to our views even in hexbear. Watch me start a struggle session on checks notes outdoor vegan cats!1!!

IzyaKatzmann,

Yeah, that’s fair enough, gotta do my own homework some of the time.
