Reminder that proton doesn’t give a shit about linux support (for any of their products) and you will be better served in the long run supporting a company who supports you. Not one who uses privacywashing as a sales tactic but is perfectly okay ensuring their products only work (full feature support) on corporate spyware OSes. This creates yet another barrier keeping their customers on w1ndows/mac which completely defeats the purpose of using proton services if your OS is sending everything to gemini anyways.

I’m upgrading my father-in-laws 2011 imac (Intel, amd GPU) to an ssd, 16GB ram, and planning on putting an immutable linux OS on it for him since he primarily uses the browser anyways.

Any recommendations for non-techy seniors/gotchas for installing it on a mac?

I was thinking fedora silverblue since GNOME should feel more familiar than KDE for him.

Doesn’t matter if those features are doomed to be locked behind a paywall shortly

Unless you can’t pass through a GPU if you need one…

Spoken like someone who has never tried it. Thats quite literally exactly what vfio mentioned above me is for.

Yep logseq + syncthing

<@:^)

Any luck? Was just reading through the thread and curious if k3b is the way to go?

Ploopy and maybe a Corne keyboard are on my TODO list this winter

Holy cow I’m definitely converting everything to POE now

Seconding fedora/derivatives. NobaraOS has alot of “gaming”/manufacturer laptop specific fixes OOTB which makes it a very smooth experience on laptops in my experience on both an Asus zenbook and a t480s in my experience.
