I had 16GB of RAM in 2014! 32GB is the minimum amount I’d consider acceptable these days. So glad I ignored everyone and built a brand new PC in 2022 before DRAM prices got even worse than they were at the time.
Among other things, I quite like the blog, especially travelling photos. There’s some ‘old Internet / old blogosphere’ vibe in it.
Nothing really add to the topic of having a MacBook Air M2 with Linux. Glad it works well, I’m eyeing an M1 one for myself. Yet my Retina (2014 model) works perfect with Arch Linux (including sleep), so I’m patiently waiting for it to break. And at the same me I hope it would work another decade, so good it is. Battery life is quite great, it’s between 3 to 4 hours with battery being at 50% of capacity. So, I expect the new battery could give me up to 8 hours, which is pretty impressive for me. In reality, I don’t need a session for over an hour or two. The only thing I miss is USB-C charging, as that way I could charge with anything when I have no charger on me. Again, in reality, it’s a pretty rare scenario.
The great part about Apple switching processors is that the newer used Intel machines took a price hit. They’ve got great hardware, and last forever. I’m still using my 2013 MacBook Air for lots of stuff, though not my daily.
That’s right! I have a 13” MacBook Pro, and I’m eyeing a 15” one (I don’t really need one), and now I’m thinking of getting an 11” MacBook Air, as I had one from 2010, and it was quite snappy with Arch Linux and sway, the 2 GB version. A decent typing machine.
