i was running linux mint for a long while until my computer finally gave in and refused to turn on. through some investigations, the motherboard was completely dead and no power was going through. six years is a long time to be actively running that thing. i don’t want to give up my daily driver and yet no one is selling replacement motherboards. so i guess christmas time is the next chance I will get to run linux as a daily OS again.

And I have a 10-year-old iPad mini that still runs perfectly fine

This is why you regularly restart your computer.

At least you can replace your motherboard- the only devices I have either can't really be repaired (iPads), are hard to repair (Windows laptop- just because the electronics inside are packed tightly), or are the motherboard itself (Raspberry Pi 5).

You've got to be kidding me.

Have you, zaid1442011, ever used a Mac?

If so, you probably know about Gatekeeper.

If not, let me explain.

Gatekeeper makes apps not allowed by Apple unable to run. That's pretty much 25% of all Mac apps you can download from the Internet.

If you want Gatekeeper to not get in your way, you need to pay a whole bunch of money to Apple. And it's a pain in the (REDACTED) to get it notarized.

Think about it. Is Mac really an open platform if it's basically controlled by Apple?

“MacOS is a prison.” - somebody on this topic like 11 years ago

macos is pretty good tho, especially for development, pretty sure its based on BSD, and brew is pretty nice aswell.

Technically it is, however brew recommends you use MacOS. + it's useless in an environment outside of MacOS anyway as there are much better package managers.

You can run custom apps on it without paying lots of money or jailbreaking. Only for 7 days though, and then you'll have to either re-download it or use TrollStore.

I've been dualbooting Linux Mint with Windows 10 for the last three years. However, I've found Mint to be quite slow and Windows is… Windows. I want to nuke windows and replace it with Arch Linux, which I've had good experiences with in the past. Unfortunately, exams start next week and I'll need to connect use my computer and to the WiFi for some of them. I've had connectivity issues before and I'm debating whether to do it now (I really want to) or wait until after exams.

Wait until after after exams, as someone who has installed arch you take about an hour to install it and a week trouble shooting lol

I'm on ‘study leave’ so I have the time to install Arch. I'm thinking that I'll replace my Windows installation with Arch, and I can go to school and make sure that it works with the enterprise WiFi.

It's been several months, I did in fact install Arch for my exams. It worked flawlessly once I had everything configured and used less power than both Win10 and Mint. I've been using mostly Arch, although I still have Mint installed.
