That’s awesome. My Asus uses a bit more I think but I never measured it. The MacBook air used to die in one day in sleep mode and now it’ll last almost two days, so progress!

I use asahi on a MacBook air, and love it. The battery life on sleep mode has been improving but it’s nowhere near the voodoo Apple does to MacOs. I recently installed Linux on my Asus machine and found the process and community to be really helpful, so maybe that’s an option for you. Check out https://asus-linux.org/

That was actually a really cool read, thanks for sharing

If you’re allowed to install it on your work computer, asahi Linux is my current daily driver and it works really well. Being able to use asahi-bless lets you switch back to the Mac without having to go to recovery. It’s a really great project.

That’s not what HDR10 means at all, it’s just a different data encoding standard. Like Blu rays vs HDDVDs. A properly encoded HDR10 looks just as bright/dark in a proper monitor

Can you describe how you are enabling it? In-game? Are you adjusting it in game after enabling it? Is your deck itself set to full brightness (you obviously won’t get the full 1000 nits if not)

Goddamn, that was funny

I’m actually ok with this. Would love to see better premium games and more variety in the app ecosystem.

WSL is great for me. Not as fast as being in native Linux but if you’re stuck in windows it’s a impressively seamless tool to just have available. I use it for convenience so I don’t have to have a second machine next to me all day

If anyone stumbles upon this and was confused like me, I found this link to be a super clear explanation of OCI Linux delivery- https://universal-blue.org/introduction/

I’m running the Asahi Fedora remix for personal use in multiple Mac workstations because it’s what the Asahi folks are recommending/supporting right now, and I’m not too bothered. I figured if there are changes impacting Fedora later, Asahi will go back to Arch (which I actually really liked) .

At work I manage somewhere between 20-40 servers depending on workload, almost all running commercial software. More than 50% were running Centos, which is what the software manufacturers supported, when the RH announcement was made.

While I actually understand their reasoning and would happily move to a model where there’s a reasonable cost for those licenses, the way they went about it was way too fast and careless, with huge impact to their potential customers. It ironically undermined my trust on them as a company, and I wouldn’t want to bet my job on anything that’s downstream from or owned by RH right now.

TLDR; Fine with Fedora as a daily driver, wouldn’t touch it for work.

Yes!! Super helpful. Thank you!

I’m still having a hard time grasping this, probably because I don’t understand OCI images. How would this be different than say using fedora with docker to spin up containers with stuff I need?

Please please please do

So we watched it, and I had no idea what to expect. It was really awesome. My head cannon is that The Cat Returns is a polished version of her book. Thanks for the recommendation!!

I’ve never seen Whisper and tonight is movie night for us !!

Car returns is fantastic

This is far from a stupid question. I have a girl and a boy and it’s surprisingly difficult to find movies/books/ shows with positive male role models. A lot of times they are presented as evil or incompetent as well. I try to find more balanced things for them to watch together.

As far as Disney fare there are Lucca and Tangled. Lucca is meh but Tangled is really funny and the kids like it, and it arguably has two protagonists with one of them being male. Peter pan is fun but definitely not cool in different ways, especially to native Americans.

There’s a lot more than Disney though. The Adventures of Baron Munchausen might be a bit scary depending on their age but they both love it. As others mentioned The Dragon Prince is pretty great. If you haven’t yet, you should try The Sound of Music, you’d be surprised how much they get into it.

I’ll try to think of more examples but thanks for posting this, I think it’s an important conversation to have
