For now, there are enough weird little broken corner cases that I’d suggest holding off unless you’re OK with that and want legitimately insane battery life and performance.īut an awful lot does work, and it works really well.

Most of the software ecosystem quirks will be worked out by then, and just about everything will work. Should you buy one of Apple’s M1 devices? Probably not - wait 6 months for the next round of hardware, and buy then. Lock your staging, or a thumb twitch might just leave you 100m above Mun with no descent (or ascent!) stage left attached… This does mean that, once again, Jeb ends up stuck places he’d probably rather not be stuck. I mean, it’ll even play Kerbal Space Program with pretty darn good graphics! That’s an x86 game with no native port yet, and it’s not exactly a CPU sipper! The fan almost never comes off idle, power consumption (I work in a solar office, remember?) is a rounding error, and it just does what I ask of it in a real hurry. I figured it would be really good, but it’s beyond good, crossing into the “Yeah, I’ll call this magical…” realm. Not just for the power - that’s amazing too, but simple, flat out, using it for stuff. It’s a common theme with ARM desktop use, especially 64-bit, so this is no different. The Intel one wasn’t doing most of what I wanted (to say the GPU sucked would be an understatement), I’ve been lusting after a mid-range ARM desktop for a long while, and the fact that things would be broken on it doesn’t bother me - it’s not a production machine for me, so I’m happy to run on the bleeding, slightly broken edge.

While I don’t generally make a habit of buying brand new, just-released hardware, I made an exception for the M1 and bought a M1 Mac Mini to replace an Intel Mac Mini (which had replaced a perfectly function 2014 iMac I’d still be running if the monitor hadn’t failed - the display assembly, used, cost $600 in not-cracked condition).

The fastest Linux machine I’ve ever used is a hardware virtualized install on the Apple M1 - and this post covers how to do it! I’ve also, as is usual for me, gone down some weird paths - like ARM Linux virtualization, x86 Linux emulation, and BOINC in an ARM VM! Apple did it, has shipped hardware, and I’ve had a chance to play with for a while now. Since posting the above I have located a Deb package for Boinc Manager 5.8.17.About six months ago, I speculated a bit on what Apple might do with their upcoming (rumored at the time) ARM transition. If you not a Boinc user and wish to learn more then please go to the following page which will give you further details on who you can put your computers down time to good use:
To return to the Simple Interface select View: Simple Interface.

Click on preferences and adjust your settings as applicable. Open Boinc via Applications: Accessories.Ī different looking interface will appear known as the Simple View. Rename the bin file named boinc to boinc_clientĬopy the following files from your newly created bin folder :īoinc_client, boincmgr and boinc_cmd to your /usr/bin/Īdd "ulimit -s unlimited" to a new line AFTER the lines that start with # then save. Run the downloaded file in your Home directory.

If you don't wish this to occur then the following how to offers an alternative by upgrading the Boinc client to a later version. Unfortunately this version does not seem to pay heed to your preferences and will keep your CPU running at 100%. Ubuntu 7.02 repositories offers the Boinc Manager 5.4.11.
