    Laptop is an m1 Air. I needed a new laptop and I wanted the System76 lemur pro but it was during the pandemic /chip shortage and I couldn’t wait. It was my first apple product and Ive been pleasantly surprised. Iterm2 is fantastic and brew is one of the best package managers I’ve seen. The apple silicon is incredible and I think the ML cores are something people are sleeping on. They do ML tasks faster than my Nvidia GPUs by a good margin. And unified memory means, if you spec it right, you can have access to tons of ram for ml or GPU tasks.

    My desktop has been Pop for 3 years or so. All the games I play work flawlessly and are getting even better as proton gets more love.

    Pop is the perfect balance of everything. Cosmic is great, their kernel is very recent, they have the latest gfx card drivers, apt flatpaks means you have access to everything you’d need and it’s rock solid stable. The upgrades have been flawless and their docs are incredibly useful.

    I have windows lingering on a drive for dual boot but I haven’t logged in to that other than to run updates in 1-2 years.
