I have a Mac Mini M1 and Asahi Linux works very well on it. Pretty much everything I use already has an aarch64 version. The IDE I was using doesn’t, so I switched to the JetBrains equivalent, which does work on ARM.
The one big letdown is that displayport doesn’t work. Only HDMI does. But going by your other comments you’re using a macbook rather than a mac mini, so that might not matter to you.
I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time before they realize their oversight though. So thank you in advance for the powershell script ;)
I wound up installing the “Move Mouse” software to keep Microsoft Teams active. Seems to do the trick.
I used to show up as idle a lot because I have communications stuff like Teams on my (very slow, old, underpowered) work-owned laptop, and I do my actual work from my home PC. So the more I’m working, the less likely I am to show up as being active on Teams. But managers don’t understand logic. They only understand a little green check next to your name. So… Move Mouse it is.
It uses the API. They’re discussing what to do next, probably “wait and see” for now https://github.com/libreddit/libreddit/issues/785
I haven’t used the Modos Paper Monitor. Not even sure if it’s actually for sale.
You could look at the Dasung Paperlike monitors though. Or the Onyx Boox Mira. They should be much the same (ie. they’re e-ink monitors), though they are quite expensive. They’ve been out for years, so there are plenty of videos, reviews, second hand units, etc. out there.
I have one of the Onyx Boox Mira monitors (the 13" one). It’s a bit small and cost more than I’d like, but it has helped with eye strain as someone who works on a computer all day. Speed isn’t an issue. It’s plenty fast for anything except watching videos or gaming. The main caveat with any e-ink monitor is that it’s black and white, so you’ll need to tweak things on your PC to get a good experience. That usually means putting things in light mode or high contrast mode.
