I'm the Never Ending Pie Throwing Robot, aka NEPTR.

Linux enthusiast, programmer, and privacy advocate. I'm nearly done with an IT Security degree.

TL;DR I am a nerd.

Pretty sure Asahi fixed that problem already.

Maybe a MacBook M3 or 4 with the hopes that asahi gets support in the future? More RAM means much more money. I suggested a MacBook because OP like Mac.

For Mac, go with a Mac Book Neo.

Alpine is minimal. That kid would show up in one piece pajamas because it serves the job of pants, shirt, underwear, and sweater+hood (if it comes with a hood).

In school we had a talk from a guest speaker who professionally developed malware. He said kernel-level anticheat was indistinguishable from malware. He said the same thing about (3rd-party) antivirus.

There is no rock bottom. It can always get worse. Even if the outside doesn't get worse, your experience can. I have seen and experienced it.

You you do choose to release it, do it on codeberg because GitHub is Microsoft owned and has an incentive to remove it.

While I do find GOS drama a bit annoying, they aren't wrong about the lacking security of many AOSP forks. iode and /e/OS have a history late patches for security vulnerabilities in both the OS (https://web.archive.org/...) and for the forked apps they bundle with it. Each Android monthly and Chromium patches usually contains dozens High Risk CVEs, so taking a month or 2 is unacceptable. Neither are good for privacy or security.

See a comparison between some Android ROMs here, especially noting the update speed section: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm

Wydm? Rockchip copied their code, changed the license and didnt attribute FFmpeg. FFmpeg is a small team of enthusiasts who are responsible for plenty of important innovation and remain largely unpaid even with such substantial widespread use of their code in like SOOOO MANY big software projects. It isn't their fault that people aren't following the simple rules of the license to use their code.

I do not agree with the Dev who stepped down.

But on the topic of C, I wouldn't measure the quality of a language based on its adoption. C is a relatively old language and therefore benefits from getting wide-use before other languages were born. It will never die because who would ever want to rewrite every project in existence in another language.

Memory safety is very important since it has consistently been one of the largest sources of vulnerabilities throughout software history.

C is not a bad language, but it has flaws. Performance at the cost of safety is not a good trade-off in most scenarios. There is no such thing as a "perfect programmer" who won't make mistakes.
