Thoughts on leaving macOS for Linux? (split thread)

The M1 has the best support of the new systems, but the answer seems to be “most” things are supported not all. M1 Series Feature Support - Asahi Linux Documentation

Unfortunately work bought me an M3 Max MBP and that’s far from being well supported.

She’s also right about #2 - recent studies showed it mimicked what our eyes do when walking out in nature and that it has a calming effect on the mind.

That’s crazy! You tried any of the exercises?

The only one I’ve done is the one I mentioned previously:

@AstonJ

Brain Gym

Can be done anywhere - just imagine a figure 8 on its side then slowly track your sight along it, slowly expanding the figure 8 so it reaches the edges of your vision. Switch directions a few times.

IIRC the first one she mentions is similar, and the second one is similar to what you get when out in nature/hiking. If you’re someone who is looking at a screen for long periods then I feel it is even more important to do.

@budgie

Yeah that’s helpful too for sure. Just downloaded a copy. Crazy it’s from 1995!

How did you get on with it?

As adults, many things are too late to fix, but it’s still good information so that our children and younger relatives get good advice and don’t end up with the same problems

While it’s true our formative years define a lot of or adult life (some things cause a lasting negative impact if fed in the formative years for instance - such as gluten) I’d also say it’s never too late to start. A lot of people turn their health around in their 40s 50s 60s even
