@itsfoss I’ve dual booted multiple distributions on a MacBook Pro from 2015: Fedora, Ubuntu, PopOS, Elementary, … They all worked fine on the Intel cpu. I haven’t tried Asahi on my new MacBook Air.

@itsfoss I do the same things, except number 5. I don’t see the need for Appimage if there’s support for deb, snap and flatpack.

@itsfoss Does it has a nice community? Is it backed by a big team or just one dev or a couple of developers? Does it contain up to date packages? How user friendly is the distro? Winners for me: Ubuntu, Fedora & popOS.

@itsfoss The light of OSS won't shine through Windows 🔆 😉

@itsfoss Firefox, Thunderbird, darktable & VLC.

@itsfoss that’s very specific. I can setup my basic workflow on most distributions I tried recently: Ubuntu, Fedora, Manjaro. Arch worked too but that wasn’t quick and I don’t think it would last for more than a couple of months. But I can find al software I need in Flathub, snap, deb of rpm-format: Firefox, Thunderbird, Krita, onlyOffice, Bitwarden, VLC, Calibre & darktable. And the good News: all those work on macOS and Windows too.

@itsfoss @gnome & Firefox

@itsfoss the Pop OS Cosmic alpha. Is was really fast and good for an alpha. I’m looking forward to the finished product.

@itsfoss It’s a great tool, I have a USB device dedicated to it and I can quickly boot a bunch of OS’s.

@itsfoss Ubuntu.

@itsfoss Thanks for sharing. Now I know which browsers not to use ;-) @Vivaldi has a clear opinion ( https://vivaldi.com/blog/technology/vivaldi-wont-allow-a-machine-to-lie-to-you/ ) & Firefox works just fine too ;-)

@itsfoss I think we all have to stop hyping 'AI'. It's made without respect for the original authors of the works it ingested, and it uses too many resources to generate answers.
