What went down, and when??

The battery life is a non issue for me so far.

It’s much lighter both in my pocket and my hands. It feels much less obtrusive in a pocket overall despite the bump, which when holding it one-handed can sometimes even be an affordance that keeps it from slipping.

I don’t know, but I do know that many games perform even better on Linux these days.

As a software engineer, I will tell you that to put game-specific optimizations in drivers seems like a horrifying practice that should never have become commonplace, and probably leads to piles of hacks and unmanageable complexity. I have doubts as to whether Mesa and/or the Linux kernel would accept such a thing in open-source drivers.

In the long run, we’re probably better off with clean, maintainable code. I’d rather have that than a few extra FPS any day.

I’ll continue to buy AMD because of their excellent open source drivers on Linux.

But also, talking down to Windows users is not a good way to invite them to join us.

Intermediate Linux user + 6 months of Gentoo = advanced Linux user.

I’m not kidding. You can do this with other distros, but it will get you used to parts of the software engineering process you might not otherwise be exposed to. That was my experience at least.

Le poisson Steve?

Thanks very much! Curious what the specs are at this point, if you’re willing to share!

They probably mean “we use cheap shocks.”

How do you keep all your virtual machines up-to-date? Or are those containers?

I am so excited for this.

Like, you can use the GPU on Linux…with Metal
