I used to really like mac computers but they’re obviously becoming more locked down over the years. Is it even worth it to buy them? On my old computer, I used the OS until it didn’t update anymore and then I flashed Linux. This is how I extend the life of my computer! Should I just buy from System 76 next time I buy a computer? :( That’s what I’m planning to do.
A used Apple M2 desktop or laptop is probably the best deal in the biz right now. I’m rocking Asahi GNOME on an old Mac mini M1 right now, works great. Why worry about ditching Asahi? Are you having any problems with it?
I actually haven’t tried it yet, my old mac was Intel I was considering which new machine to buy. The laptop hinge is sort of falling off, some issues with the screen and plus I want something new and shiny. I just heard Asahi kind of sucked and wouldn’t be supported in the future, I wonder if it’s true.
Ah I see. Well it’s true that there’s some concern about how the compatibility story could work from M3 onward, but as I said, M1/M2 generation is pretty solid and you can get a great deal from the used market. I don’t know who was telling you it sucked. 😅
