I think the wave of hype sort of overshadowed a couple of key points about these chips:
Battery life is hardware and software.
.tar.zst forever
I’m partial to macOS and I agree, I think Windows font rendering looks like garbage. On GNOME, I’ve found things to be okay. Sucks that patents are involved in this mess
I’m glad Fedora has GNOME as default. The KDE spin appears to be well-maintained enough for those interested to enjoy it.
WebP images are not bad. Not great, but not bad. The lossless mode is quite good. It is on the software you use to support WebP.
I’m happy with Wayland
Chrome OS.
Huawei’s doing great. Plus, there’s a big push in China to consider RISC-V & Linux to reduce dependence on US-based tech like Windows, so seems like all good things
Pixel 6 & newer, newer MediaTek devices, anything with the Snapdragon 8 gen 2 or newer. It took Qualcomm a while because many companies (including Apple) were holding out for VVC, which to this day isn’t in a great state. iPhone 15 Pro & newer support AV1 hwdec
Go big or go home. No need to stick with anything from a large corporation if you’re already pulling away from M$
Aside from the backdoor (which is a moot point when talking about zstd anyway), there are a number of other very good reasons to use ZSTD.
Yes, it works on Wayland. I’d also give GNOME’s Console a shot.
Lemmy.world is designed for people who want another Reddit. Interacting with their users & communities tells you all you need to know. I’d be a fan of defederating, tbh
Lemmy.world is also notoriously mismanaged and has had dubious privacy issues in the past, such as their Discord situation regarding user messages
Well, that’s for you to decide.
That’s super smart!
I have customized ZSH to be very similar to Fish
