When I joined I felt like I moved to a village after living in a metropolis. There’s positives and negatives to that, but in the end Lemmy satisfies my doomscrolling needs so I’m never coming back to reddit.
The peer pressure (and stupid broken updates from MS) finally got me to install linux about 8mos into using lemmy. It’s pretty great, though - wish I’d done it sooner.
There’s Asahi linux for M1 but the dev that runs it is a bit of a nutter. Also apple software just works best with its hardware (until the planned obsolesence of your hardware happens and suddenly nothing works).
There are a few tools like lima that let you play around with Ubuntu from macOS if you are still curious. Also an official one from Canonical (company behind Ubuntu linux) whose name I forget now that does a similar thing. Essentially you get a user friendly linux VM to play around with.
Working on it. Little lonely since most of communities from reddit don’t seem to be here but still searching so we’ll see.
Definitely feeling like I need to install linux on my mac though, perhaps as some sort of initiation?

When you need to doomscroll.
Why not scroll wikipedia?

Oh wow I love that!
I encourage you to create them and foster them.
Let me get through the welcome newcomers stuff first! :)

Went with mint right after the announcement of tpm 2.0 since I’m running an off lease decade old office box.
What’re you running?

Ah, the good old hackintosh routine!
Wouldn’t recommend linux on a mac unless it’s an old model (like ~2012)
M1 not old enough? I can already feel Apple trying to kill it.

Well that saves me a bit of work for now then. I’ve got all my old phones/ipads though so perhaps it’s time to try tinkering with things there

Edit: Canonical VM is called Multipass
