Eww. I ran into similar trying to build a meson app on Asahi. Fuck that. Since the point of the Fedora-Asahi partnership is to have a max of stuff upstream, I guess it leaves you with whatever fedora is shipping - which may not be good enough for you.

Again, depends in your use case; since the horrible business of having a full ffmpeg on one machine is done, you can use any sync software between them & not care further. I use syncthing to keep my mastering device (mbp 14, Asahi) in sync with a playback machine and a backup machine.

But it is my use case: I use different, dedicated devices for dedicated tasks as to spread out wear, risks and improve redundancy in case of failure.

I ran into issues while exporting (rendering) with kdenlive, where you will notice available formats being different between the Mac version of kdenlive and the Linux one.

But to me it was a matter of compatibility, I don't really care as long as I get useable files of sufficient quality, so I didn't pay much attention, works-for-me style I'm afraid.

Same applies to hardware vs software encoding/decoding - the M chipset is quite powerful enough you shouldn't have to worry about it in a pro context where encoding is something you gotta do and it's doing it reasonably fast.

Just try it out, it doesn't kill your mac install, and you can compare.

I use it everyday. Got it with Gnome, which is very mac-y but think ultra-zen, minimalist, early macos style. Also with the spinning cube and the wobbly windows, I just can live without these very important productivity addons.

YMMV but for my use case it just works, period - and my use case isn't light-browsing-casual-text-editing but multitrack mixing with Ardour over Pipewire and some video editing on kdenlive. Oh and we've got steam games now lol, I just started Portal (unavailable on Mac haha) for 0.99!

Good thing about Asahi is that it is dualboot by nature, you won't loose your macos partition for that pesky proprietary app (fuck u Qlab)

Try it out, you'll love it if nothing specific arm64-related gets in your way. Software availability is great, there's Ftapak of course for more stuff... It works and is painless to try out.

The Air macs are the best: light, thin, with awesome batteries. The only words of warning are about the reboot mid-process during install: Mac laptops tend to boot on any keystroke, lid movement anything so be sure to not touch anything & just long-press the power button 'til the appropriate screen shows up. That's all there is to it, the only risky moment. Just (long-)press that button.

No comment on that particular service, but I just checked Murglar 2 on my phone and it half-works, not everything is available to play / download but I'm not locked out either

Edit: I updated the app and it is much better, everything I tried downloads

Je m'assied sur les bancs dans les parcs publics. Parfois avec un bouquin.

Mais il faut avouer que je suis presque vieux alors c'est dans doute normal (56).

Venir nous visiter ! Ben oui ça grandit ces cornichons, puis ça va s'installer ici où là et c'est parfois loin (Londres)

Mais ces vacances on se retrouve toustes plus-ou-moins au même endroit plus-ou-moins en même temps ! (Rabat)

Finished Warehouse 13. Not unwatchable, definitely light-headed, shallow entertainment. There's a beginning and an end, nothing will break your appetite... Also not a hidden treasure or some sort if niche fabulous thing that only the true believers know about. Decent show from a period where scyfy was a thing.

Prius Dwellers are probably the most hardcore at that

These seats are more expensive due to the extra legroom. They tend to be the last ones available to people who didn't bother to buy a specific seat on cheap airlines, so if you check-in at the last moment you may get some unsold "high value" seat assigned on your boarding pass.

Fuck airlines that make you pay to get a standard seat, quiet at the back of the plane.

I used to but not anymore. Sometimes IMDb has niche movies which are devoid of reviews, but then writing one means I work for free for a private company with no ethics making tons of money so the eff with that.

Same with gmaps and others.

What the, uh, crunchy hell is a "Crunchy Granola Area"? Or did you just fired the queen of all autocorrect ever & I'm being too obtuse to detect it?
