I know Bluefin Linux is supposed to have the “reliability and ease of use of a Chromebook” but what happens if you actually install it on a Chromebook? 😁

Finally took a picture of all my laptops, took hours to set up😂

Hardware here includes:

• ARM / x86_64 / x86_32
• Chromebooks
• MacBooks / MacBook Pros / MacBook Air
• Many various PCs
• SDR-DDR4 era

Operating Systems includes:

• macOS Snow Leopard, Mojave, Ventura, and Sonoma
• Windows 8.1 Embedded Pro, 10 Pro / Home, Windows 11 Pro
• Ultramarine Linux 39 / 40, GNOME / KDE / Xfce
• Bluefin DX
• Arch
• NixOS
• Haiku
• And begrudgingly, ChromeOS (one for testing, one I found that I have not yet submarined, whoops)

Laptops in the stacks are broken laptops.

There are 38 laptops here.

Yes I have a problem.

I got the huge ‘puter working (2011 17” MacBook Pro).
Really slow under Sonoma lol
I found a macOS install CD in it, so I’m using it for the size reference
This thing is so funny

Ok let me get this straight. The new pros:

• Removed mmWave 5G
• Removed the Ultra Wide lens
• Old keyboard cases don’t work because the new iPads are slightly thinner
• Old Apple Pencil doesn’t work and apparently there’s a new one??

Hmmmm, can’t really say I’m a fan. Don’t really care about the hardware losses but dropping these ‘old’ accessories isn’t great, I appreciated how they worked with 2018 pros when they came out, and were universal across all the pros until now. Same with the Apple Pencil 2. I guess we will see if this is true or not when we get our hands on these.

Hey at least the entire line up is USBC now, and the new OLED displays seem very impressive, excited to see one in person but I’m perfectly content with my 2018 Pro.

What another great should-have-been-a-site-refresh #apple event. I guess they really wanted to show off the #M4 chip😂

Honestly most excited for the Final Cut camera app, I hope it has more professional photography and videography settings like other phones do

I've adjusted the COSMIC editor and terminal to take custom window background colors from the COSMIC theme, when they are using the COSMIC syntax theme. Here's my DOOM theme 🤘.

Keep in mind all software shown is a work in progress
