I have a friend here in the US who is already planning on leaving the US after undergrad and doing grad school in Europe somewhere

Fedora Asahi Remix. Considering how the M1 has no official Linux support, it’s impressive that it runs as well as it does, and they have compatibility hacks to run Steam games and get Widevine to work. There’s still a lot of rough edges however, like no microphone (should be coming out soon though) or fingerprint, aarch64 software support is second class and tends to have more frequent bugs (cough Electron cough) that get ignored by package maintainers and some (even FOSS) software isn’t supported, full disk encryption isn’t supported (but there’s blog articles from people who figured out how to set it up), limited distro options, worse power efficiency so gets hot faster (just got a cooling pad to deal with this, get a Pro if you can so you have a fan) and battery life is barely different than what I’ve heard from Framework users so there’s not really much to gain atm. Currently only supports M1 and to a lesser extent M2, and also the fact that you’re dual booting makes the soldered overpriced SSD space even more limiting.
As far as distro support goes, Fedora Workstation is the only distro that has official support. There’s other options with community support but there’s a higher likelihood of stuff being outdated or not packaged (i.e. Arch Linux ARM doesn’t have the same level of community support as normal Arch Linux). I haven’t tried NixOS or Guix System on M1, but I use Nix/Guix on the Fedora install. aarch64 Guix packages keep breaking making it annoying to update and issues tend to be ignored (also certain core packages don’t like the tmpfs 16k page size so you need to make it use /var/tmp instead), aarch64 Nix is better but support is still slow to where Signal is several versions behind and has been broken for weeks despite there being multiple pull requests with fixes, and both Nix/Guix prioritize x86 over aarch64 for builds so it will need to compile a lot of things from source.

Agreed. I got the 16/512 M1 Air for a decent price and run Linux on it, but I’m constantly bottlenecking both the RAM and SSD and it sucks that I can’t upgrade it, will probably get a Framework when it dies

Great battery life on macOS, although turns out a lot of it involves software-related optimizations since with Asahi Linux it’s barely better than x86

I’ve been trying to figure out how to network with people where I live and so far it’s been very difficult, partly because I’m very busy constantly and don’t have a car, and also because I’m depressed and my social skills are absolute garbage. At this point almost all of my social life for the past few years has been Lemmy, Reddit, and Instagram.

As a student there is no way I am skipping a day’s worth of classes and risking my grade for a single protest that’s probably not going to do shit similar to the other protests I’ve been to that didn’t do shit

People who deliberately ignore struggles that others outside their immediate community experience, especially ones that they cause themselves, don’t deserve to be listened to

Not anything super interesting at mine, basically everyone there was a Christian nationalist Fox News Republican and I got sick of being exclusively around people who were constantly promoting stuff that would criminalize and erase people like myself and didn’t give a shit about anyone outside of their immediate community. For LGB it was a “love the sinner hate the sin” mindset though so it could have been a lot worse (although it’s still considered basically the worst sin you can possibly commit aside from murder). For T though the environment was more hostile, I heard there was one person who came out as trans and was quickly expelled. Aside from that they taught stupid shit like dinosaurs still exist and the government is hiding them from us and dragons exist as well. Glad to be out of that shithole.

Unless you go to a Christian high school, then it sucks

dihydrogen monoxide is also dangerous, we must ban it as well
