I’d argue that it may come to that, given the poor availability of (steam) games for the macos platform. And when it is available, you may end up with a disclaimer that it may not run anyway.

An AUR package has been done for Arch by (supposedly) someone who knows what they are doing and needs it on their Arch Machine

A Flatpak is something done by someone, to (supposedly) work everywhere, untested on Arch, that may or may not work. And crash (Ardour on Asahi). Or waste hours or you life to render files incorrectly (kdenlive on arch and asahi).

Native versions work perfectly.

I thought I was clever in using arch/aur for everything, but pull KDE or QT apps from Flatpak to keep my gnome install a bit more tidy… For this, you’d have to have those Flataks to work, and sometimes they don’t.

I’ll add one today: past week our doctor said my cholesterol is shit, and told my wife she’s fat, put us both on a diet.

Years ago I quit smoking

Months ago I quit drinking

Days ago I …quit eating lol

At the end of the day, it’s not the smokes, it’s not the booze, it’s not the burgers: there’s only you there, the same you but without the crap. I guess.

I assumed OP plugged himself in some hidden serial port (like cars’ obd2) and the washing machine had indeed a tpm to prevent bootleg/non original spare parts.

The human mind can be the deepest well of imagination sometimes. I’m a bit too good at that o.Ô

My reaction when reading the post’s title: nothing.

I am not tired.

Don’t ask me what I do not look forward to.

My wife has a T480s on standard 2022 LTS Ubuntu, it is a machine old enough to not need the latest edgy mint ; a friend of mine has had to install it on his 2023 X1 tho.

Standard Mint will do fine. Default DE is boring as hell, be sure to look at others like Gnome. I love Gnome.

Also, using “live” USB keys OP can try several distros and check what they find more attractive in the default state of a distro.

PopOS, Elementary, Fedora, Tumbleweed… So many of them.

I say Tumbleweed is best because of the perfect, seamless integration of BTRFS / Snapshotting / Rollback system. It is truly the best way to dip your feet into Linux and get it back working in a single click when you (inevitably) fuck up.

T410? Woah! I still mourn the death of my 420 with it’s Dome Light and rugged looks

I hope yours stay on, and on, and on!
