Even Pewds is using GIMP and Linux. At this point, I have to admit, I’m just being lazy. Today, I’m changing that. I’ll be running it on Apple Silicon hardware. If you have any suggestions, let me know.

Give a lot of space to your Linux partition, it becomes your daily driver really fast and you start regretting that you didn't give it enough space on apple silicoon πŸ˜›
Umm, I would suggest dual boot, asahi Linux is still fairly new and not everything works, for example usb-c earphones still don't work. It's not a lot, and it works for 99% of the things but it still might be good to have a backup OS running just in case something fails.
Yeah, I was reading about it. Seems like it’s as close to bare metal as you can get. As for audio input through USB-C, if we have our own DAC (which I already use for my IEMs), will it work? Maybe I should just give it a try. I’ll let you know in a few hours.
Trial and error is the key, my audio earphones crash the laptop..... But... They do work after crashing it once or twice πŸ˜‚

Organization, scalability, efficiency. Isolated workloads, high availability across multiple devices or redundancy in geographical distribution including easy migration, multiple OS, <4% penalty on performance (I guarantee you won’t notice), better backups/snapshots, CPoM, HW abstraction, etc.
