It's heresy, but my favorite laptop was a 17" Macbook Pro with Bootcamp.
replyIt wasn't my favorite, but my first Mac was a PowerBook G4 17-inch, which I ran Gentoo and (I think) Yellow Dog Linux on at various times. It never worked super well, and I eventually joined the dark side. In 2003, a 17-inch laptop was ludicrous among all the netbooks that seemed to be the future of laptops. People around me called it the "aircraft carrier Mac".
replyUse AI to fix the things you don't like?
replyI just got a new-to-me Android phone and told AI to use adb to debloat and install the custom APKs that I normally run.
Given the interdependencies of Google's Android, I'm not sure I'd trust something so subjective to AI. I'm sure I would disagree with it regarding what's bloat, what's necessary, and which dependencies I'm willing to break
replySo ask it to list the things and have a conversation with it instead of trying to one-shot it?
replyCan AI port Asahi Linux to the M5+ chips? Honest question for the strong AI fans to attempt.
replyYes, M5+ support is currently an active focus of Aurora Silicon (an AI-enabled fork of Asahi Linux), development is in progress as we speak:

It is coming along impressively fast, one of the developers has a goal "full support on the M5 Max by Thanksgiving here in the US (November 26th)." https://x.com/JoshuaSWarren/status/2118375325805547666
So, no? Dude doesn’t even own an m5 Mac. Lmao.

replyI believe chasing the latest hardware prevents you from getting Asahi Linux support :)
replyAsahi Linux has great support for M1/M2, or so I heard.
