Virtually any computer that isn't Apple Silicon can install Linux on it and it'll run smoother and faster than Win or Mac.

People who are anti-Linux either don't understand computers or are traumatized from the early 2000s

Can't Apple Silicon run some program called Parallel Desktops or something? Is there a Linux distro that has an ARM version?

[-] A7thStone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Most Linux distros have an arm version, but Apple silicon is another beast because Apple.

Parallels is good for running Windows. It's heavily optimized for Windows. I have both Fedora & Windows on my MacBook Pro through Parallels.

But it's nowhere nead native speed and you're still using an ARM version of Win / Linux which comes with its own set of issues.

Having said that, Parallels is good for when you need to run a specific Windows program. I haven't run into anything that runs on Linux that I can't set up on MacOS so I haven't really needed the Fedora.

On my desktop I use Fedora and it's my favorite OS / Linux distro. But MacOS works. The M2 is worth it

Apple Silicon

I thought asahi was pretty mature now?

[-] wahming@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

Almost ready, but not quite yet AFAIK

Even Apple silicone has a version of Fedora that works pretty well. Give it 10 years and I bet old Apple silicone machines will be faster on linux just like a lot of the older x86 macbooks are now.
