I did this. Was a ThinkPad Linuxer for years and now I just use an M1 for sysadmin/programming/web/vids. Quite happy to just use Linux on my servers these days. MacOS does the job nicely on laptop. I suppose it depends on how FOSS you want to be.

I recently bought a MacBook Air M1 and I came at it from a classic "ThinkPad with Fedora on it" Linux nerd perspective. I got given a Mac at work a couple of years ago, and I warmed to it. I agree that Macs are great tools for DevOps work. I used to think they were just for posers but I've been converted.
Nice. Thanks 👍
Interesting. I've been using ".home.arpa" for a while now, since that's one of the other often used ways.
Just use a $5 USB-C to 3.5mm DAC?
I heard about it when it was mentioned on the Trillbilly podcast, about two years ago. Which is quite an obscure way to hear about a project by Tim and Eric. So, yes, it's not too well known.
I clicked on the thread to mention this excellent Tim & Eric side project. Anyone who likes silliness and hasn't seen it yet needs to crank up a torrent.
thank Mr skeltal
This. I've experimented by using pex before and one or two other means of executable python wrappers and they suck. Just do as lakeeffect says.
Wow. I've been using dd for years and I'd consider myself on the more experienced end of the Linux user base. I'll use cp from now on. Great link.

I home brew installed most stuff, yeah. I'm lucky in that I don't need a whole lot of stuff installed. Just a couple of JetBrains IDE's, a couple of browsers, iTerm2 and a handful of popular CLI utilities.
