Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it’s been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

    You can install Linux on Apple Silicon Macs. Check out Asahi Linux.

      Not trying to be rude, but this is terrible advice. Asahi Linux is nowhere near ready for use on a work computer.

        Telling someone to check something out isn’t the same as saying they should use it. You were stating falsehoods that paint Apple products in a bad light.

        It’s also quite usable. The reason it’s in beta is because certain features don’t work.

          certain features don’t work

          Dog, I’m not even gonna bother. The jokes write themselves.

            Depends on what your use case is. If you don’t need the features that are still being worked on then it’s fairly stable and usable.

            Lots of x86 systems also have driver issues with Linux.

      Asahi actually came up with a conformant OpenGL ES driver for the M1+2s before Apple has.

      Last I heard it’s still in beta, which isn’t advisable if it’s your main work machine

        Yes I am aware. It’s made a lot of progress though. I wanted to point out that it’s an option.
