With $2100 I can buy both of these, one for Linux and one for Windows:
Get it now! Bristling with high-refresh rate displays and competitive GPUs, ultra-durable TUF Gaming laptops deliver a reliable portable gaming experience to a wide audience of gamers.
And once again, by putting Asahi on the Mac, you lose access to what may to some be worth the extra money, namely the hardware accelerators.

I've tried Wayland again recently with GNOME. There are still many issues, the main ones are:- Input latency, especially noticeable while gaming because of forced VSync
- GNOME specific: The session is lost after a crash. A big issue when doing serious work. And GNOME isn't always that stable either. There was a bug for some versions that has since been fixed, where the shell would crash when clearing the app menu search box by clicking, laughable. Had I been on Wayland, I'd have lost everything not saved on disk. GNOME developers don't even talk about this, mostly, because, they know a rewrite is needed to fix it properly, a huge undertaking.
- Color Management
Less significant:- GNOME specific: Server-side decorations (xdg-decoration), again they know it's a lot of work, so they just ignore the issue
- GNOME specific: Inhibit (e.g. screen blanking while watching a video), (zwp_idle_inhibit_manager_v1 protocol)
- Many more…

Every internet argument around wayland would be more far less toxic if everyone could just accept this fact.
But hey, dragging everyone down in linux desktop is the job of kde fans I guess 🍷🍷

Not my/our fault X11/Xorg just works!
Anyways systemd/puleaudio/wayland users, stop complaining... this is Unix/Linux and not Windows!
Funny how our Linux software just works, until somebody starts wanting Linux to be more like Windows.Last edited by rogerx; 13 May 2023, 02:00 PM.
