As per title, I am mind-blown by the speed and stability of NixOS on this "relic" in IT terms... On this machine i tested:
| Distro | Performance |
|---|---|
| Fedora | MEGA slow |
| Ubuntu | OKish |
| LDME | Fast |
| Debian | Fast |
| NixOS | VERY Fast |
And the best thing is that I can bring this config with me on any computer! Oh boy, I think i have fallen in love with NixOS
Excellent.
It is readily accepted that Linux reduces overhead versus Windows on the same system.
What is less readily accepted is the same result versus macOS. Yes, it is considerably more work to get Linux running well on a Mac, since it is ultimately a closed ecosystem. But the point should be made that macOS also has a lot of unnecessary overhead over which the user has little or no control.
The PC vs Mac thing should be dead by now, tbh, in favor of corporate vs FOSS.
Very easy to flash Linux on an intel based Mac ;)
Yet not as easy as loading it on a PC, which was my only point there.
not at all, it exactly the same process. Same level of difficulty. Given you do it on an intel Mac, Mx series are a royal pain
