I'm with you on all of that. I was speaking mainly about just the "niceness" of the hardware, but you are correct that they are quite douchey about how they lock the hardware down.

Because Mac's are essentially the nicest machines in their form factor (laptops or the mini's). Installing Linux, as already stated, adds new life to these machines, but allows you to keep a OSX aesthetic with Gnome while also getting away from all the privacy invasion that is already starting in OSX, as well as what is coming in the near future. A better question is why NOT run Linux on a Mac, particularly if philosophically you lean towards freedom / FOSS?

I also tried first with a Fedora 40 container and ran into a lot of issues. I then tried in an Arch container instead, ran into the exact issues that Astonish did in the Arch container, and was able to get around all of them easily and get it running.

Thanks! I needed your file! I tried my best and mine looked almost identical to yours except I needed to add "sudo" before rum, and my "home" was formatted differently ($HOME). Even after changing those things manually however, it STILL wouldn't work for reasons I can't explain (every line looked identical) until I just overwrote all the text in my file with yours and made the relevant adjustments. Boom, good to go after that. I messed around with the DPI setting in winecfg and it helped make the fonts look more pleasing to the eye when the DPI is set higher. Midway points between the suggested DPI intervals don't look right (as would be expected). I've tried adding --maximize or --full-screen to the end of the Exec line hoping to make it start full screen and neither work. I see that there is a section called "Rearranging Panels" in the guide that aims to help with this, but in my case the whole "virtual desktop" thing made everything seem less native, so I'm happy with manually having to maximize the windows for now Thanks for your hard work everyone!

Would you mind posting your .desktop files that you created? Since we are both using Arch containers, other than your Home directory being named differently, the files would probably be good to go on my machine. Either that or if you could post the text from the .desktop files that would be great! I tried to create them manually myself but have failed thus far. Thanks!

In order to fix my i386 issue, I had to install this list of dependencies from this post. So there is at least one dependency in here that will need to be added to the website tutorial for Fedora, but I'm not sure which one. I've now passed the compile step and continuing in the process....

I've tried to compile on a Fedora 40 Distrobox container (within Bazzite Gnome Fedora 40) and even with the latest dependencies posted on the guide, I'm getting the same i386 message. "checking for i686-w64-mingw32-gcc... no checking for i586-w64-mingw32-gcc... no checking for i486-w64-mingw32-gcc... no checking for i386-w64-mingw32-gcc... no checking for i686-w64-mingw32-clang... no checking for i586-w64-mingw32-clang... no checking for i486-w64-mingw32-clang... no checking for i386-w64-mingw32-clang... no checking for clang... no configure: error: i386 PE cross-compiler not found.
