Such a solution is great because my girlfriend has a 11 years old MacBook pro and I’m sure Apple will find a way to render it obsolete

Regular Fedora runs on that and has since this laptop came out.

It’s a regular x86-64 computer

Asahi Linux is specifically built to run on Apple Silicon. It won’t be compatible with an 11yo MBP.

Slightly off topic but is there a smart person out there that can explain why having dark mode on makes this website think I’m from “hacker news” and block me (I didn’t even know what hacker news was before today). I’m not a web developer and just genuinely curious how dark mode users get lumped together with an entire website I’ve never heard of before.

they’re using css :visited trickery and color filters to detect HN users because HN has been explicitly evading any other way of detecting referrers coming from them (instead of solving the moderation problems being mentioned)

using dark mode messes with the colors which makes the text that’s supposed to be invisible, visible

I’m using a web app (brave mobile browser) to view Lemmy. Android is set to dark mode and all the apps respect that setting. I have never visited Hacker News with this browser.

That being said: why the fuck would Asahi go with a Red Hat distribution!?

EDIT: found the setting that was causing the problem: “night mode” was activated by default on Brave.

Because it isn’t? community distro with RH sponsorship != RH distro

And to answer the question, because we asked and because we have the infrastructure to better support their project in a way they only need to focus on development, it’s literally written in the blog post.

I don’t think it’s triggered by having dark mode on. I have dark mode on and I’m not seeing it.

Chromium’s dark theme triggers it, dark reader on Firefox doesn’t.

Im not sure which browser you use but Brave on Android had a setting called “night mode” that was turned on by default. Turning it off fixed the problem.

I’d agree but the message on the website specifies it’s triggered by hacker news AND dark mode. I’m on iOS with the Noir extension for my browser so perhaps whatever dark mode method you’re using isn’t detected the same way.

This is super cool! Been following these guys for a while.

Have the speaker issues been fixed yet? That’s the one thing holding me back from permanently switching. I would also prefer Debian over Arch or Fedora.

Being developed, ask Apple to release their code or documentation to make it faster

They are literally reverse engineering hardware. Every hardware revision will be sewhat different and require even more work. This is not at all a fast or easy process. That fact this works at all to me is incredible.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
