I can’t decide if this move is designed to overwhelm (or at least increase the workload of) the Wine team so that they can’t do as good a job reducing people’s dependence on Windows with their core product, or whether this is part of my prediction playing out - MS abandoning kernel/OS development in favour of a skinned Linux on which they can still harvest data and sell subscriptions.

In any case charity from a corporation is never truly charitable!

Yes but can it cast to TVs yet?

Well done and thank you to everyone involved!!

I’ve had some luck with Ubuntu, I’ve made my “notes” public in case it’s of use to you!

I’d started with bootcamp (windows) to add another bootloader option then went from there. Most of my docs go from there.

You ever get the webcam working? I’ve tried the patjak stuff and can get the device detected but alas no /dev/video

I managed to get it working under Ubuntu following this trail https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux#intel

Blacklisting the amd GPU caused Linux not to boot however…

MySQL (/ˌmaɪˌɛsˌkjuːˈɛl/)[5] is an open-source relational database management system (RDBMS).[5][6] Its name is a combination of “My”, the name of co-founder Michael Widenius’s daughter My,[7] and “SQL”.

My Widenius-SQL 😂

Meh, time for another fork.

To those people saying switch to MySQL, they miss the point - MySQL and Maria are basically interchangeable, Maria was made to replace MySQL like for like when oracle took over. It was made by the same guy (et al) and he he named both after his daughters.

When Maria is taken over the same thing will happen. I for one hope that it is named for Widenius’ other child, max.

Docker too obvious?

Important to note the difference between “uBlock” and “uBlock Origin”. The latter is the good one.

/pedantry 😂

Very nice!

I have an intel device, not an ARM one.

Though I would love an M2!

What device are you intending to use, you mention you’re using macos so I’m guessing Apple hardware?

Just thought I’d share my experience with pop on my MacBook in case we can help each other 😂. Basically I was dead set on pop but couldn’t get it to install for the life of me - the installer showed my disk as being a fraction of the size it was, even exfat volumes created by the installer. So I had to shrink other os petitions like crazy so I could trick it into thinking there was enough space.

There was no option to encrypt the disk in the installer and it didn’t play nice when I created my own LUKS container.

After several hours of trying to beat it into submission I ended up using Ubuntu’s legacy installer and was up and running in 15 mins.

So yeah if you are using Apple hardware and get pop playing nice please share any tips :)

Sidebar switcher allows users to access Bookmarks, History and Synced Tabs panels easily, quickly switch between them, move the sidebar to another side of the browser window, or close the sidebar. Now, keyboard users would be able to do it all with ease too, with or without any assistive technology running, without needing to memorize keyboard shortcuts to access these panels.>

One step closer to a vertical tabs option?

No so much a prompt but I love Neofetch.

Looks nice with starship as well - https://itsfoss.com/starship/.
