nix/guix can be used on any distro and it provides a way to organize .config files so that if the .config directory gets deleted or accidentally modified for some reason, restoring it would be very easy. By putting the configuration in a git repo, it also makes it easy to restore previous configurations. I accidentally deleted a bunch of stuff in my .config directory once and that's one of the reason I use this tooling now, so I thought OP would find it helpful also

When people want "Linux" on their phones they're talking more about the ecosystem than the OS

Use nix home-manager or guix home and put your configs in a git repo (this is my guix home config for reference)

I have mine set to 18 hours

TikTok is popular because it's addicting, not because it's useful, so I don't understand why anyone would use this.

What would you call Alpine Linux?

Doesn't NYT cut off most of the article now? I used to just be able to disable JS but that didn't work anymore last I checked.

Captain represents capitalists falsely promising to fix our problems

Broken liferaft is the false promise (i.e. voting is going to fix our problems despite genocide, imperialism, deporting illegal immigrants, hurting homeless people, fracking, etc)

Fixed liferaft is what actually will save us (i.e. food, housing, healthcare, etc)

While everyone is hyperfocused on who to vote for, the capitalists take the rest of the food/housing/healthcare and everyone else dies.

passenger 1 - "Oh crud. Our boat is sinking. We are in great peril indeed."

captain - "We're going to be okay everyone, just get into this liferaft."

Pulls out liferaft with a huge fucking hole in it.

passenger 1 - "Is this the only liferaft we've got?"

captain - "Yes, but don't worry about the hole, it won't sink and we'll be fine I promise."

passenger 2 - "Hey guys, I have a liferaft over here that doesn't have a hole in it."

captain - "Guys, that's not important right now. Our boat is sinking."

passenger 1 - "Eh, I guess I'll go in that one."

passenger 3 - "Sure me too, captain says we should - wait where's captain?"

Looks up, in the distance sees captain floating away on functional liferaft.

captain - "So long fuckers!"

Passengers board remaining liferaft, liferaft sinks, the passengers die.

I own an M1 Air running Asahi Linux because I heard very good things about the laptop when I got it and it was a reasonable price. I don't have a Framework to test alongside it so I don't know how it compares with the latest x86 chips. The M1 touchpad is awesome, aesthetics are great with it being light and the material being a lot more durable than my HP Envy laptop that kept getting random dents, doesn't have the hinge misalignment issue, screen is also good. Battery life and performance is great on macOS, not as impressive on Linux (performance is still good aside from missing hardware processing support for certain things, I do end up bottlenecking it when compiling Rust programs), lack of fan noise is nice but also bad for cooling, with Linux it tends to get warm and throttle. Asahi Linux is very impressive but still missing microphone support and doesn't support FDE which is extremely precarious, harder to use alternative distros to Fedora Workstation. Repairability is shit, the keyboard is also shit.

The newer M* models don't have good Asahi Linux support and look overpriced and I don't even know if the Air line still offers 16GB RAM models which is a must have (32GB is better). At this point in time if my Macbook were to randomly die my next laptop probably won't be a Macbook (unless I replace it with another used M1), also I wouldn't recommend it to most people right now because of issues with Asahi Linux being under development like the two I pointed out earlier.

A ton of communities I'm interested in use Discord so I still use it. I use Armcord/Vencord on Linux and Bunny (not sure if it still exists) on Android.
