Macs have enough open firmware to allow you to run any OS that you want. Linux Asahi only supports a certain subset of modern Mac HW, if you want to speed up development you should probably contribute to that project.

How do you verify that everything is correct?

I’m sure the builds from doing what i’ve been doing won’t generate identical bytecode but it’s fun for the sake of messing with the game or understanding it (eg. The checksum logic for newstowers save game logic was cooy pastable as was the whole save game structure formatting itself and clearly matches the game - it works!). Likewise with all the JA3 mechanics documented in that linked guide.


Maybe they all use some BSD distro?


You can use something else. Kubuntu might be nice for you.


Yes, I've migrated to Kubuntu first and now I'm enjoying Linux Mint. The Cinnamon environment gives me old-school GNOME vibes. And Mint doesn't have Snap, which is also a big plus.


A desktop/workstation/whatever should have a graphical user interface. If you want another GUI you can choose another distro (like Kubuntu etc).


where exactly did I say anything contrary to what you said.

Are you implying that GNOME is the only thing that should be considered graphical? That everything else has to be an alternative? That GNOME, by virtue of existing has infinite reprieve to change the definition of user interfaces at their leisure; even if it means breaking muscle memory hundreds of thousands of times over decades.

I don’t follow the point of what you said.


Ubuntu can have one GUI and Kubuntu can have another. Every distro can't be everything for every person.


Lets put KDE as the default for Ubuntu and have GNOME available on Gnubuntu instead. :)


If you run Ubuntu you are free to do what you want with it.


You don't have to "put up" with Gnome. Use whatever you want.


Mules are cheaper as well if you don't have coal readily available.


Thanks for the suggestion! I've always wanted to own a mule and now you've provided me with a justification!


Barf and shit are two very different things.


There are taxis and they are pretty cheap (compared to western Europe and the US). It is not a replacement but you CAN get home if you are out late.
