Meinen #Apple #MacBook von 2013 habe ich mit #Linux wieder zum Leben erweckt. #Fedora, #Mint und #Ubuntu läuft - alles getestet. Tricky war nur die #WIFI-Treiber ohne Netzwerk-Access zu installieren (Kamera läuft noch nicht 🙄).

Meine Frage an Euch - welche Distri sollte ich final benutzen? :BoostOK

Linux 6.15 will support Apple Z2 Touch Bar

Linux 6.15 is growing up with more and more improvements and support for more devices, including Apple MacBook laptops with the Z2 Touch Bar. This is for the Apple Silicon devices that rely on the Z2 protocol to make the Touch Bar work on macOS, but Linux 6.15 will have support for the Touch Bar in such devices.

The apple_z2 driver was merged to the kernel prior to the first release candidate. This driver enables Linux to utilize the Apple Touch Bar in MacBooks that use the Silicon hardware using the Z2 protocol. It was developed by the Asahi Linux developers as they’re enhancing the experience of Linux desktop in such devices.

When this Linux version gets released to the public, which should happen after several release candidates, users with MacBook laptops with the Touch Bar will be able to use it in Linux distributions.

As an aside, we expect that Linux 6.15 RC1 will be out today, provided that everything goes fine during development. This is so that curious people and advanced users will be able to test this version of Linux.

I need to add a new payment method to my Apple TV account and I couldn't log in. Now my account is locked. It's stupidly difficult to do some basic things on a Mac when you're not a Mac expert. I'm so frustrated I'm thinking about going back to a Windows laptop even though I hate windows. I've also been having a lot of problems with my MacBook being really slow and hanging up even though it's only about a year old. Pretty disappointed in my venture down the Mac road. #Macbook #Apple

Can we get a mouse with magsafe? Many of us use our laptops on small tables that we have to move back and forth constantly, meaning that Bluetooth mice constantly end up flying and crashing on the floor. A magsafe ring on the bottom, paired with a magsafe ring on the table, would allow us to snap it securely to the table when not in use. It could even be used for charging the mouse as well. Thank you.
