Basically Pixelfed - both focus on images but Vernissage has, IMHO, a more artistic and photographer-based approach showing camera models, lens, exposure and also GPS-tags if you want to.
Vernissage is undersold here somehow - in terms of quality and steady, reasonable development without 100 side-projects and permanent babbling it has turned to my preferred choice of putting my pics online, also showing-off there of course! 😉
Got it and understand your thoughts, but putting Lenovo aside, is there any other recommendable vendor? Of course there can be any backdoor everywhere and yes, TPM is one factor that can be compromised these days, but which company to trust then? I know that there was some stuff on preinstalled devices from China (various smaller, cheaper vendors) even two or three years ago (compromised Windows, told to be an "accident", but considering this, you cannot trust any vendor at all. Apart from that, Lenovo is just an example because I like the look and the haptics of the devices since the stuff was still label with "IBM" some decades ago. Thanks for your thoughts anyway!
That's my impression as well - the hardware is there but due to different reasons, there won't be an experience like Apple had with the Silicon-SoCs paired with their own OS. That much potential unused ATM, sadly.
Currently aiming at a second-gen T14s to partly do the switch - there are many technical differences but it could be a good start waiting for Snapdragon to be fully embraced by the main distros.
Asahi looks quite great but is limited up to the M2, hence still lacking Thunderbolt and Touch ID-support. This would be the best way and I like the idea behind the project. Needs some time though.
That could be an option - thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am currently with an M4 MacBook Air and am preparing for a possible switch sometimes in the future. Have been using an old HP EliteBook G4 as second device so I know the look and feel, but something in the Lenovo-style paired with something ARM-based would be perfect. Fedora works fine out of the box so the system itself wouldn't be the problem - rather the technical base underneath.
Usually this would be the case but when you got used to runtime and performance, going to standard Intel-books is quite a step backwards. I love the effiency of ARM-based hardware, the runtime and (compared to the Air) the fanless design and was already aiming at a used T14s with 11th gen i5 - okay for the start, but in terms of specs there are quite huge differences. That's what makes it getting complicated 😀 !
They're currently rolling out this feature, starting with the login, you can now create app passwords für IMAP, DAV and the sync-client. Don't know if it's just for new users or when existing users are transferred but I recently noticed that something has changed to the positive.
It would be more than coincidence if the next Pope was an ultra-conservative, GOP-friendly guy from the US and A. Of course this would never happen, but.... ehm... who knows?
