How does that work?

In your MBP?

Desktop.

Right, that's my point

:P

You need another computer

Besides I don't really need much power. I need portability.

And this is mine.

I'm using a 2016 13" MBP right now

I find 64 GB RAM a little bit too much. I'm happy with 4, maybe 8.

You need another computer

I don't really need. This Mac is more powerful than most laptops anyway.

But I have a desktop indeed.

Server, rather.

I have a Yoga 900 for when I need more RAM, though (e.g., VMs)

my damned 2in1 has a locked BIOS, i think, it doesn't allow me boot a Fedora Live Drive -.-

For a server though?

Now I'm confused @LianTianRong Do you have a laptop, a desktop or both?

Both.

For a server though?

No. Why should I want a server?

Linux server with KVM and bells and whistles and a slim Mac laptop.

No. Why should I want a server?

To complete your geek profile

Haha indeed

To complete your geek profile

lol

I was talking about myself though.

Not everyone needs a server.

Both.

Ah. Would you mind to share your specifications, please? Both machines if you don't mind.

To complete your geek profile

Well... When I buy a newer laptop, I'll put this one as server. For the sake of my geek profile.

I have an X99 5930K hexa core with 64 GB of RAM.

This is the server. Also GTX 980, 3 TB of HDD and around 3 TB of SSD spanned across RAID and NVMe

WOW

This is the server. Also GTX 980, 3 TB of HDD and around 3 TB of SSD spanned across RAID and NVMe

You sure spent a lot of money there

Indeed...

mumble mumble not talking about my electronic expenses

Might buy another HDD and make a Fedora mirror ?

Is anyone here running a mirror, by the way?

The touchpad on this thing is incredible for once.

touchpad on macs is fucking amazing, that's one good thing about macs. other than that, i don't really get why everyone loves them so much.

macOS is also amazing

Considering there's no actual alternative to Windows if you want to get work done.

I mean GIMP works. Mostly.

LMMS works. It's... Yeah.

KDEnlive? Yeah... I don't know.

Video editing in Linux has never worked out

only blender might be called a decent one

Okay, got it, you're an Apple fanboy @LianTianRong

It's mostly Adobe's fault for not caring about Linux but it's the sad truth.

although it's mostly 3D

Okay, got it, you're an Apple fanboy @LianTianRong

Far from that.

I'm a fanboy of well working desktop OSes that allow me to get work done.

So: not Windows.

For me Inkscape does wonders

Linux sometimes.

macOS always.

only blender might be called a decent one

Blender is a great programme. Sadly, I can't use it, it needs a great deal of time to learn properly and I haven't.

Blender is amazing. Sure.

So the thing is... I can also use Blender on macOS but not, say, Photoshop on Fedora.

(I do use Affinity Photo on my Mac, with Pixelmator, which are Mac exclusives. I don't like Photoshop.)

WINE works sometimes :P

WINE works sometimes :P

Yeah... That's the point.

but me too, can't really seem to get along with GIMP, Photoshop is one of THE best

At one point in my life I went full Stallman and used Linux and Wine exclusively.

no you didn't go full stallman lol

WINE works sometimes :P

Photoshop and Office don't work on Wine. I tried many times so I can tell you: no.

Photoshop and Office don't work on Wine. I tried many times so I can tell you: no.

Yep.

you would have to stop using a web browser

Only Office 2013 works decently

Not that real men use Office suites though ?

and instead, use an external server to download web pages there, scan them, compress them and send them to yourself via emal :P

We use the superior system: LaTeX

Only Office 2013 works decently

Really? I couldn't make work. But Office isn't my main concern. Adobe is.

"want to get work done" depends on what kinda work. if its video, or other graphical stuff, you can pretty much forget it i think. if its anything else gnu/linux is perfect imo.

For coding exclusively Linux works OK.

Unfortunately most of the time it isn't only coding. You know.

Say you want to make a website... Good luck designing it.

Not only HTML, you also need a good image editor for example.

If it's for a website, Gimp/Inkscape do the work.

Most of the time.

I find GIMP for example lacks non destructive layer effects.

Yes, that's true

That's kind of a small detail but essential to a good workflow

So it's a deal breaker...

krita?

Haven't really tried it. I heard good things about it.

But that's why I said for websites. Usually you don't need too complex stuff for a website. For other purposes is different. And I'm still missing that beautiful feature Photoshop has and Gimp doesn't: deleting an item as it never existed in the image ❤️

But I don't really need it since I do have Affinity Photo...

I don't know Affinity Photo. Any links?

Mac/Windows only

Born as a cheap PS alternative with no cloud bullshit

Well, I still have a Windows in my laptop so i can tru

Thanks

Also in my free time I do music production

And I can't really do as much on LMMS...

I could use Windows, but I mean. Eugh.

I could use Windows, but I mean. Eugh.

Yeah, haha. But I have no options for certain things. I haven't the money to buy a MacBook

Also I got the MBP because I have a university discount

Even after a huge 600€ discount it's still more expensive than any other laptop for specs ?

I mean... ??‍♂

I'm making my own OS in Rust

Come join me

Let's Make Computing Great Again ™

No, but I mean it. I am going to make my own OS based in Rust. Nothing big, though.
