You don’t need an apple account to use a Mac. If you just want to enter a username and set a password, that’s all you need to do. If you want everything synced between another Mac or iPhone and so on, sign into iCloud. But you don’t HAVE to, just skip it.

I found that all my keyboards didn’t have functional modifier keys while gaming, in wayland. Switched back to default cinnamon, and it all works fine again. Linuxmint

Did you build it yet? And how did it go? I’ve just built a fractal terra jade, with a nearly completely spare parts bin spec; Vega56 (ex-classic Mac Pro) i7 2600 (ex-iMac 2011) 2x4gb ddr3 ram (also ex cMP) 1tb SDD 500watt silverstone SFX-L (toight!)

Running Linux Mint 21.3 Have installed WoW via Steam compatibility mode, and playing all my steam catalogue as trials. Borderlands 2, Pre-sequel, wolfenstein old blood, and some GOG games.

I think the whole USB-C business is the worst example of an axe to grind with Apple. Who says that standard must be the only one? The EU have forced something that didn’t need to be forced.

I just don’t get it that it was that important.

That doesn’t sound like a bad thing tbh.

I’ve got an old vega56 in hand because I upgraded an old mac pro and I’m wondering whether I can build a usable Linux gaming rig with it.

What’s that?

I knew that a long time ago, it’s just one more thing

Available in the U.K. Brexit was such a bad idea. Smh

I read that to mean Reddit didn’t try to identify the stolen data, rather than the exploitists. Is that right?
