Such an unbelievably talented and driven group of people. Having a full blown version of Fedora on Apple silicon would probably convince me to buy a macbook for my next laptop.
Buy a framework laptop instead!
after using the m1 air, I’m sold on arm
it doesn’t have fans so no complaints of noise (my old laptop gave me ptsd of fan noise and I’ve also heard framework 12th having fan noise as it has a single fan coupled with a p-series processor)I’d love to see amd/intel make an arm chip as microsoft also seems to pick-up the windows on arm thing
I don’t think there are any laptops that have no fans. What if you have a workload that exists, is the cpu just supposed to overheat?
You can disapate heat into the metal chassis without a fan, and if your CPU only generates a few watts, even at 100% this doesn’t cause it to overheat. This has been done with desktops that are.much more powerful, but it’s also been done on the new M2 MacBook air, because the m2 CPU is quite efficient. It doesn’t overheat because the case passively dissapates heat fast enough. It’s also not a performance laptop.
Damn, I didn’t know that.
that’s because apple uses arm chips which are much more power efficient than Intel and amd’s x86 chips
it mostly uses 15-20 watts or around that which is easy to dissipate than 45-50 watt Intel and amd produces which requires fan
I’ve heard even the most powerful m1 max chip doesn’t need fan when video editing (which can go for continuous 6 hrs on battery and you don’t see a performance hit when charging or on battery)
Kinda hard to buy a Framework when they don’t sell to your country! Framework laptops are only available in a handful of areas, whereas Macbooks are sold in almost every country on Earth.
Framework is cool, but Apple Silicon is still a pretty enticing concept if you want a silent system! I have an M1 Mac Mini that doesnt make a peep of noise even when its churning out tests and compiling, but my work laptop costs 2x the price, came out the same year, and struggles in the same tasks.
Some of it is Windows and its shite scheduler. Some of it is ARM. One day RISC-V will be at the same level and we won’t have to pick :)
Note that the people behind the Asahi don’t yet recommend getting a MacBook for the sole reason of running Asahi on it.
Slightly off topic but is there a smart person out there that can explain why having dark mode on makes this website think I’m from “hacker news” and block me (I didn’t even know what hacker news was before today). I’m not a web developer and just genuinely curious how dark mode users get lumped together with an entire website I’ve never heard of before.
they’re using css :visited trickery and color filters to detect HN users because HN has been explicitly evading any other way of detecting referrers coming from them (instead of solving the moderation problems being mentioned)
using dark mode messes with the colors which makes the text that’s supposed to be invisible, visible
I don’t think it’s triggered by having dark mode on. I have dark mode on and I’m not seeing it.
I’d agree but the message on the website specifies it’s triggered by hacker news AND dark mode. I’m on iOS with the Noir extension for my browser so perhaps whatever dark mode method you’re using isn’t detected the same way.
Do you have an ad blocker? I got the same message.
I have AdGuard premium but it’s definitely caused by Noir. I can toggle it on and off while on the website and it changes from warning me about hacker news to the actual website in real time.
Chromium’s dark theme triggers it, dark reader on Firefox doesn’t.
This is super cool! Been following these guys for a while.
Have the speaker issues been fixed yet? That’s the one thing holding me back from permanently switching. I would also prefer Debian over Arch or Fedora.
Nope, no speakers yet
Such a solution is great because my girlfriend has a 11 years old MacBook pro and I’m sure Apple will find a way to render it obsolete
Regular Fedora runs on that and has since this laptop came out.
It’s a regular x86-64 computer
I can’t say I am suprised but I sure am glad that the Asahi SIG has been so successful.
Kudos to everyone involved!
Never thought I would say this but my next one gonna be apple silicon

For comparison I got no such pop up.

Hacker News is basically Reddit if it only had r/technology and no other subs
Well, that’s a rant and a half. I’ve got a similar setup and don’t see the same message, but that’s still weird.
The good news is you don’t actually have to know about Asahi, they’re upsteaming all their work. If it’s useful to you, you’ll end up using it without even knowing

Who knows what they are using to make that determination. Obviously you need some tweaking. It sounds like you’re reacting somewhat poorly though. Life goes on. There’s other ways that you can see the site if you really want to. Think about it from their perspective.
It uses the :visited css psuedotag to display the message based on your browser history.
Where M2 Pro support :(
Being developed, ask Apple to release their code or documentation to make it faster
