I too install Linux Mint, though Fedora Silverblue and Kinote is another good alternative.

I don’t like apple. But I love to recommend them for 4 reasons:

1. The hardware, even the cheapest base specs is light years better than anything from Windows or Android. I can’t tell you how many times a relative bought an Android and stopped using it because it was unresponsive after a week. Or I had to stop another from buying a Windows PC with only 4GB of RAM… in 2022.

2. The fake download links are targeting Windows not Mac. Meaning that when a relative downloads their games or cousins gets a hold of their computer to download minecraft skins, their machine won’t be playing breakout on their desktop (yes this actually happened, and lived in the RAM from what I could tell)

3. When the OS updates, the careful configuration I made for them doesn’t break. Why [RELATIVE] are you using Edge, when I set up Chrome for you… oh your machine updated and moved the chrome icon, and this looks close enough to IE that you clicked on it. Cool.

4. I don’t have to teach them how to use Video Chats, or Web Messages, as they are baked in, won’t change after a week, and has been consistent since forever. Sure suck on my end when they ping my iPad instead of my phone, but that’s on me.

You can do this with 10 but not 11. Tested on both a VM and hardware.

I have the iPad Pro with an M1 chip in it. And I never once thought… This needed more power, or this needed to be thinner.

I need a headphone jack, and I need better software support from third party devs (without the apple tax).

The only exciting news is the Pencil Pro, but even then it’s a niche use case. Plus them dropping the price of the existing iPad.

This could’ve been an email.

I am doing my part 🫡!

This is on iOS. There is no Firefox (geko) or Chromium, there is only skins of Safari so your point is moot. For now.

But don’t you know. They put a do not copy sticker on the disc. That means that you super Dooper can’t copy this disc or you’ll be in trouble.

On an iPad connected to a display it works great for multitasking with iPad OS’s reduced input. Stage manager feels like a natural transition from Apples touch screen gui to a desktop like gui.

But if I am honest I’d just prefer an outright window manager like we get in most other desktop os’s
