Running #IceCubesApp on #tahoe.
The font in the app is totally fine and crisp when the windows is on the local “retina”-display of the #MacBook.
But on the external display, connected via DisplayLink (hardware-adapter), the font is blurred or unsharp.

Moving the app window back to the internal display: navigation is re-rendered and everything is crisp again.

@sjvn Just gave my 12-year-old #Apple #MacBook Pro a fresh life with Linux Mint. 🚀

On newer machines I go for #Ubuntu, but here I happily skipped #GNOME and went for #KDE. Smooth, fast, and still rocking ~2h battery life. Proof that old hardware can shine again! 💻✨

Die MacBooks haben einen Sensor, der den Winkel des Laptopdeckels bestimmen kann. Sam Henri Gold hat das genutzt, um das Knarzen einer Tür zu simulieren.

One more screenshot of the classic MacOS 8/9 theme under XFce. Honestly, from all the themes I've done, this one I enjoy the most. It's rather convincing because it doesn't use docks or launchers that all modern OSes use, so it feels different.

How do you lure your kids off iPhones?

Give them MacBooks…running a "cool" version of Linux. Snagged 2 old Airs for just €50 each.

Wiped macOS, & installed @elementary - a clean, distro that feels familiar to macOS users but comes with a lot less bloat.

Now they’ve got "cool" Apple gear, with the the rich world of #Linux that respects their freedom and sparks curiosity.

I got yet another Mac. It's a Macbook Air 13" from 2012, got it for $120. I love these old Intel Macs. Obviously the old MacOS was deleted to make space for an updated Linux Mint. Everything worked great, except the b43 wifi driver, which made the laptop not to wake up from sleep. I blacklisted 2-3 drivers it was pulling along with it, and I now use a tiny wifi dongle with great success. Overall, very happy.
