Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.

Fortunately, Linux already works on Apple Silicon/M1. But how practical is it?

• Two native ports exist.

Summary

This command will create the required registry entry to prevent RDP clients from suppressing the remote system when the client is minimised.

Why is this needed?

Say for example that you are running caffeine on the remote system to prevent the screen locking, if you then minimise the RDP session, then RDP suppression would normally kick in, which then prevents caffeine from keeping the system unlocked. Similar issues may exist for other software running on the system.

Usage

#!/usr/bin/env zsh

set -e;
set +m; # Job control would've been nice, but manual round robin it is, sigh.

if [ -z "${ZSH_VERSION+x}" ]; then
    echo 'Try again with zsh.';
    exit 1;
fi;

Guix on WSL2

(updated versions of this document, plus more, live here)

This will show you how to get Guix running on WSL2.
We're going to go as "minimal" as possible, without starting off one of the readily available WSL2 distros.
Parts of this guide should help with understanding how to set up any custom distro on WSL, not just Guix.

Disclaimer: I'm a Guix nOOb! (hence going through the trouble of installing it on WSL2)
