Virtmanager and qemu/kvm

I don't use twitter
Spotify... It's very convenient
I mean, all of my cables are CAT 5e and I can easily pull a gigabit down and up from my NAS... Which has a gigabit NIC, so ig you're right.
CAT8 40MB/s
I think you went a but overkill with that one, high quality CAT6 cables would have done the same job, but hey, if it works, it works.
Coque... say that word
I'm just a massive nerd and feel like switching things up a little from time to time.
I multiboot 4 OSs...
Windows 10... some old, pirated patch.
Fedora 40
Gentoo
Arch (my current daily driver)
Yeah, I swear by touchpad navigation, so the lack of PgUp, PgDown or the as described by you - terrible keyboard navigation doesn't really bother me.
I was hoping that the snapdragon X Elite laptops were gonna be as good as advertised, but alas, they are not.
Do not buy an M-series mac just for asahi linux. It's a cool project. It is not daily driveable (yet). However, for using it as a regular laptop with MacOS.... Agh, I'm gonna get hate for this, but it's amazing. I'm a firm believer that you cannot get a better laptop experience than this. Great battery life, great performance, great screen, great touchpad. And as for MacOS, it's like worse GNOME with KDE settings, really nothing to write home about. Install homebrew and it functions like you're used to with linux distros...
Ik apple bad and all, but the way I see it, they are just as bad as other manufacturers like DELL, just that their products are actually good while they work...
As for the actual performance, it completely obliterates X86 counterparts around it's price range, unless you need to game or do graphically intensive stuff.
I switched to linux a while ago, back when windows 11 was 1st announced and never looked back. Looks hard, but as long as you don't think you can use a Linux distro the same way you use windows, you'll be fine. Think of a Linux distro as "desktop android". Downloading stuff from the internet should be your last resort, after going to the built-in app center.
Depends on the distribution. And how used you are to windows.
Imo, for the easiest possible experience, choose fedora and use it sorta like desktop android.
