What I will offer from my limited experience is that the Mint install I have will begin to topple over after a few weeks if I don't run updates, whereas my Mac will soldier on without missing a beat if I miss several months of updates.

I'm gradually immersing myself in Linux until my Macbook loses macOS support, at which point I'll go full time on Asahi, having learned the ropes from Mint on my old Mac mini.

There are still some things that send me scuttling back to macOS, glad that Preview exists with its easy to operate editing and PDF viewing. But I'll learn to make that stuff second nature in Linux. Eventually.

I'll test Linux on a Mac this afternoon and see how it goes, but I'm optimistic it will just work also.

I have Mint running on 2011 and 2014 Mac minis. It's basically flawless. The only trouble you might have is finding the wifi driver, depending on which model you're using. Iirc, the minis were fine, but the 2011 MacBook Pro I put it on was a little more difficult to track down. But ethernet worked right out of the box, so it wasn't a huge deal.

Linux on Apple Silicon is a trickier proposition, but getting less tricky all the time.

Some of the lads here have absolutely got to tug the forelock whenever possible.

I got an LG OLED a few weeks ago. Hands down the best TV screen I've ever owned.

Fuck knows what the stock OS does because I've only watched Apple TV through it.

Yeah, like several other people on the internet I'm not American, so I have no idea what this is about.

You post a message containing a demand for an opposition party, then when you're reminded that they exist you say you won't vote for them.

And people wonder why most countries have wandered centre-right over the past 40 years.
