Interesting decision to take off the bottom of the case. I wonder if that was for cool or hardware access.

Possibly, I’m not sure how well old MacBooks dissipate heat without the top being open.
Aside from that, get a Ethernet adapter and installing Linux is the place to start. 🙂

It’s too bad GrapheneOS is so hellbent on pushing Android because this would be a great time to promote work on an Linux mobile distro, like PostmarketOS.
Especially Google with Android. Closing off Android is baffling. Did they not learn anything from the last 30 years?
1·2 months agoThat makes sense.
That’s too bad. SPICE looked like a promising alternative to VNC and RDP.
What was wrong with the old Boxes?
It didn’t support containers or the more advanced features of libvirtd like virt-manager does, but it seemed fine for what it was the couple of times I tried it out.
Yep. That is what the ‘D’ stands for, which is largely historical at this point, and originally, all code was shared code.
The shared code pool which spawned the BSD hasn’t existed in decades, and the BSDs have been stand alone operating systems since February 1994 when the USL lawsuit was settled with 4.4BSD-lite.
They favor permissive licenses ( BSD or MIT ).
Aside from that, they want to work on something different.
FreeBSD is a full OS separate from GNU and Linux. It’s not a distribution.
- non LTS version available (Atomic desktops are easier to manage if keeping un-updated for very long periods)
Fedora is a semi-rolling release distribution, so this isn’t really a problem for a desktop or laptop. It’s really an advantage for desktops and laptops.
- it uses RPM packages which are good, but there might be some software only offering DEBs (containers and extraction tools can help with that)
A lot of software is packaged as a Flatpak image, so less of a problem then it used to be.
What is being self-hosting? I haven’t seen MPI used outside of software running on a compute cluster.
One of the points of the cluster was to celebrate Apple’s founding, and the bundled MPI library just let them run an existing workload without switching the OS to Linux.
