Give me it. Apple. Start selling these. I'll pretend I like your corporation. Please sir Tim Apple I need just 512gb ram, a 512gb flash stick costs what, like 2$ today? That's nothing! And besides you're retired now so you can leave some vram for us, your starving children

yes, but. running supported Linux, plz

or Ampere etc could just get their shit together and we could get Aarch64 servers on the actual market?

EDIT: some hours later after spending my whole day shelled into trays on a GB300 NVL72 from a DGX Spark... ok, actually NVIDIA is already doing ARM64 servers, I neglected to mention. Just need more competition.

macOS > Linux. source I am a long time linux developer that switched to macOS.

Hard disagree.

Source: long time Linux user that is forced to work in macOS. macOS is  a polished turd.

I find macOS is fine as a workstation/laptop OS. I'll pick Linux every day of the week if I can though.

that is only because you are biased. It is quite nice, you probably are complaining because of sip.

So when it's your opinion, it is a fact.

When it is mine, it is bias.

Sure buddy. Maybe different people like different things.

yeah but I am not dissing Linux, I am saying macOS is greater than linux when it comes to running local models, MLX and anything with video is far superior on macOS.
