I see. This must be The Golden Path

I settled with the distro that stays out of my way so I can get shit done. For me that’s Alpine, but that’s just me. Other people should use the distro that works for them.

We currently sell and ship Jolla C2 within the European Union, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Switzerland.

From a cursory glance, they don’t ship to any of the largest smartphone markets. That’s likely why you don’t hear much about them as opposed to any of the global distributors.

Why would they deserve this?

Yeah the closest to listing off affected services was this:

The information contained, the researchers stated, open the door to “pretty much any online service imaginable, from Apple, Facebook, and Google, to GitHub, Telegram, and various government services.”

Which doesn’t say very much :s. If you don’t use any of these big online services and use a locally managed password manager I’d wager you’re fine.

So through this whole article the author just pretends Linux distros don’t exist?

Any computer that can’t offer me a terminal window, root access, and the ability to type “python” to get into a REPL shell feels fake - an incomplete simulation of a real computer. Yes, I have iSH and aShell on my iPad Pro - great tools, yet neither offering the kind of power that I need when using PyTorch (which runs great on a bare-metal M2).

He never makes it clear why he’s continuously opting for Apple Silicon rather than any other device that isn’t tied to one specific vendor. Modern Linux kernels work with just about all modern hardware, even Apple Silicon in some scenarios (see Asahi Linux). Any of the popular distros will provide what he’s stated that he needs ootb. Overall it feels like he’s missing the forest for the two largest trees in front of them.
