It’s weird that they pulled the plug on that version, considering the Mac version is still native and they recently released a native iPad version as well as an Apple Watch version now.

Can’t keep your phone up-to-date if you’re no longer in possession of it.

X2 “Elite Extreme” probably in ideal conditions vs. the base M4 chip in a real-world device. Sure, nice single core results but Apple will likely counter with the M5 (the A19 Pro already reaches around 4,000 and the M chips can probably clock a bit higher). And the M4 Pro and Max already score as high or higher in multi-core. Real world in a 14 inch laptop.

It doesn’t “crush” the M4 series at all and we’ll see how it’ll perform in a comparable power/thermal envelope.

I don’t hate what Qualcomm is doing here, but these chips only work properly under Windows and the Windows app ecosystem still hasn’t embraced ARM all that much, and from what I’ve heard Windows’ x64 to ARM translation layer is not as good as Rosetta 2. Linux support is pretty horrible, especially at launch.

journalctl -f (-f is follow mode) or as root user (sudo journalctl -f), open kitchen planner with the terminal visible and look at the (frozen) logs.

Some points are valid, but this looks more like the author (of the image) wanted to highlight as much as possible to confirm their own bias (that it’s not well designed). Maybe I’m being ragebaited, but here we go:

Different font size and styles for main panel header

Yeah, one shows breadcrumbs and the other a title.

First icon is narrower than the rest

First one is the “start menu” button. The tasks could also have text labels on them, of course they can have a different width to an unrelated element.

Content not even remotely close to being vertically centred in its box.

It can show two lines of text (as evidenced by the third item in the same row). It would look pretty bad if every item was centered on their own.

This is absolutely pixel perfect alignment. More like this please!

It looks good, but the red line the author connected from the snowflake to the horizontal line of the “H” doesn’t necessarily back their claim that this is “absolutely pixel perfect alignment” because the horizontal line of the “H” might not be geometrically centered to the line height of the text and you could also have different characters in different languages.

Yeah, some elements like the scrollbars aren’t positioned well (in this screenshot, this is a bit outdated tbh). But there’s also the concept of a visual center as opposed to the geometric center.

Yeah, but the old display supports VRR via VESA Adaptive-Sync. Nvidia supports that as well, but not sure if their mobile GPUs don’t for built-in displays?

If it is supported, I don’t see any advantage of having Gsync vs. standard VRR.

If not that’s a shame. Pretty wasteful having to buy the same display with different firmware just to get adaptive sync working.

Hate Systemd?

No, I don’t :)

iOS 15 (2021) introduced support for actual extensions, not just blocklists. These extensions can inject scripts on the pages you browse and multiple adblockers on iOS make use of that, including Adguard, uBO Lite and Wipr for example.

They still use the blocklist API for their regular URL blocklists, but can run scripts in addition to that. Never saw a YouTube ad on iOS ever since, for example.

There are even userscripts extensions (think Greasemonkey compatible) available. It’s no problem.

macOS is included with every Mac, not free.

More of a problem when adding a new desktop.

Tumbleweed. Rolling release with automated testing (openQA), snapper properly setup out of the box.

Honestly the entire openSUSE ecosystem. Tumbleweed on my main PC that often has some of the latest hardware, Slowroll on my (Framework) laptop because it’s rolling but slower (monthly feature updates, only fixes in-between), and Leap for servers where stability (as in version/compatibility stability, not “it doesn’t crash” stability) is appreciated.

openSUSE also comes in atomic flavors for those interested. And it’s European should you care.

With all that being said, I don’t really care much about what distro I’m using. What I do with it could be replicated with pretty much any distro. For me it’s mostly just a means to an end.
