    So through this whole article the author just pretends Linux distros don’t exist?

    Any computer that can’t offer me a terminal window, root access, and the ability to type “python” to get into a REPL shell feels fake - an incomplete simulation of a real computer. Yes, I have iSH and aShell on my iPad Pro - great tools, yet neither offering the kind of power that I need when using PyTorch (which runs great on a bare-metal M2).

    He never makes it clear why he’s continuously opting for Apple Silicon rather than any other device that isn’t tied to one specific vendor. Modern Linux kernels work with just about all modern hardware, even Apple Silicon in some scenarios (see Asahi Linux). Any of the popular distros will provide what he’s stated that he needs ootb. Overall it feels like he’s missing the forest for the two largest trees in front of them.

    I use 2 keyboards primarily.

    • SliceMK ErgoDox Lite - I daily drive this keyboard in particular at home. I was surprised how much you can do with the configurator app. The developer is very active and responsive in his discord. Using the config tool I was able to reproduce all the same layers that my Moonlander has and the keyboard works just as well except that it’s wireless.

    • ZSA Moonlander Mk 1 - I use this keyboard daily when working. It’s packed with features and feels great to use. My only complaint has always been the 1U modifier keys. I got big hands and it’s easy for me to slip up and miss modifiers. Other than that it’s a fantastic keyboard and I’d daily drive it if those modifier keys were longer. The Oryx configurator app is really fluid. I like that it’s integrated with GitHub for version control of your keyboard firmware. Also really cool that you can turn this keyboard into a mini midi controller

    They’re not frontends for torrents though. They’re media servers just as they all advertise themselves to be. They make media files available to a network of consuming clients. Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Disney+, all of these services also do the same. They host media on centralized servers that consuming clients can playback. In that regard, these are all self-hosted alternatives to the aforementioned.

    It should also be noted that the media in question doesn’t have to be torrents, they can be legitimately purchased songs that you playback via Plexamp or Jellyamp on your phone, or all the books you’ve gotten from HumbleBundle. They’re media servers, so they’re not limited to hosting just TV shows or movies.
