As another user pointed out, the ones with Intel chips work well ie older models (idk the details as I don't use Apple products)

One of the top most used distros probably
Those damn cosmic rays flipping my bits
How does one see a memory bug on an out of order elevator
That's what makes us humans different from computers. We don't ask how high, we just do it. Now, if it were a C pointer it would jump anywhere from 0 to 2^32-1. That's why C is more suited for artificial intelligence than it might initially seem. Thanks for coming to my tedx talk
With app images it's easier than installing. Although the chmod step will deter the typical windows user
Ok as an Indian allow me to interject. The reason people use linux is not because of poverty. Even the cheapest laptops come preloaded with activated windows.
We get introduced to Linux based OSs in schools. That plus people are heavily pushed into engineering and lately computer science and software engineering.
Typical Computer science vs typical computer engineering

Am I the product?
More importantly it helps people radicalised by Stallman to play games on their GNU/linux machines (kidding)
(wistful sigh) They just don't know how to objectify women nowadays

And also prone to misfires and missed detection
Not officially supported but it works just as well and might be more well documented than Ubuntu, regarding support and issues
It's been 2 years already? Feels like yesterday
I wonder what is the most used distro for desktop users.
Most likely Ubuntu. We use Ubuntu at work because it's the most commonly supported Linux platform for many development tools

Maybe I'm too entrenched in FOSS political vision, but why devote these tremendous efforts to improve products of a company like Apple. I don't understand the motivation behind Asahi linux, except "just because it can be done" ie academic purpose
Watch out, using the door requires you to be in wheel group

Thank you. Now I shall commence laughter.
But if we invent time travelling data transmission, you can send your consent form to your mom for it to be done. 😼
Its a long path but one you can take at your own pace. Good luck
No thanks but I don't drink
To be fair it is being told by a dinosaur
Dying in the corner, huh? Mind if I join ya?
But to its credit its alphabetical
why not both
but I don't do it all in one sitting.

Hmm the world has already turned more dystopian than I had assumed
What if we shoot our shot on each other

It's not a standard but still its an interesting software so I'll post this here:
Joking aside, I love and hate it. Its paradigm is almost like using the C preprocessor to build a really awkward Turing-machine. TeX/LaTeX does a great job of what it was intended to do; it applies high quality typesetting rules to complex material and produces really good results. I love the output I can get with it and I will be eternally grateful that Donald Knuth decided to tackle this problem. And despite my complaints below, that gratitude is genuine. Being able to redefine something in a context-sensitive way, or to be able to rely on semantics to produce spacing appropriate to an operator vs a variable etc; these are beautiful things.
The problem is, at least once a day I'm left wishing I could just write a callable routine in a normal language with variables, types, arrays, loops and so on. You can implement all those things in TeX, but TeX doesn't have a normal notion of strings, numbers or arrays, so it is rare that you can do a complicated thing in an efficient way, with readable code. So as a language, TeX frequently leads to cargo-cult programming. I'm not aware that you can invoke reflection after a page is output, to see what decisions on glue and breaks were made; but at the same time you can't conditionally include something that is dependent on those decisions, since the decision will depend on what is included. This leads to some horrible conditionals combined with compiling twice, and the results are not always deterministic. Sometimes I find it's quicker to work around things like that by writing an external program that modifies the resulting PDF output, but that seems perverse.
At the same time, there's really nothing else out there that comes close to doing what LaTeX does, and if you have the patience, the quality of documents it can produce is essentially unbounded. The legacy of encodings, category codes, parameter limits, stack limits etc. just makes it very hard for package writers, and consumes a great deal of time for a lot of people. But maybe I am picky about things that a saner person would just live with.
A lot of very talented people have written a lot of very complex packages to save the user from these esoteric details, and as a result LaTeX is alive and well, and 99% of the time you can get the results you want, using off-the-shelf parts. The remaining 1% of the time, getting the result you want requires a level of expertise that is unreasonable to expect of users. (For comparison, I wrote an optimising C compiler and generally found it far easier to make that work as expected, than some of the things I've tried, and failed, to do properly in LaTeX. I now have a rule; if getting some weird alignment to work takes me more than an hour, I just fake it with a postscript file, an image, or write an external program to generate it longhand, in order to save my sanity.)
I think (and certainly hope) that LaTeX is here to stay, in much the same way that C and assembly language are. As time moves forward I think we'll see more and more abstractions and fewer people dealing with the internals. But I will be forever grateful to the people who are experts in TeX, and who keep providing us with incredible packages.
The one he imagined in his mind
Not much. There used to be this fear of Microsoft copyrighting Mono for reimplementing their stuff on Linux. For that reason, Mono was avoided by linux app developers. But since MS had acquired the company that made and developed Mono and they have also open-sourced .NET and everything, this does not mean much.
You can yank text to system clipboard buffer ie +. Then paste (put) from the clipboard to any other vim process.
Keep in mind you should have clipboard support in your vim. If you're on ubuntu, install vim-gtk and you should be good

I can't imagine coding in a small window when you have the whole screen

Definitely not me, anymore
I do not know of any such occurrence. I would like to know about it
