I agree this is a mess, but it is my mess. So now I have 2 machines sharing 3 operating systems, each has their own reason for being there. The results of that experiment are matter for another blogpost, but the thesis is that it can take over everything from my Windows machine except for gaming and nothing from my Linux machine, which still leads in the development departement. So I bought myself a second hand M1 Mac Mini, just to see if I could handle the OS. In comes the idea of a mac, with the new M1/2 chips, those machines seem like the magic unicorn of power, battery life and an OS that can handle both coding and video editing (and other software like Fusion360). Not to mention adobe software crashing every 1-2 hours on my Windows machine and even file explorer doing the well known white “Not Responsive” thing… Even if that wasn’t true, I’d also want to have Linux on it, to do some proper coding. If I wanted to edit on the go I’m even more out of luck, because a laptop that can edit on Windows is heavy and ugly and has 0 battery life. My video editing work is for coding-focussed videos, so I’d record everything on Linux, hop over to Windows to start editing, see something wasn’t right, reboot, hop back to Linux, deal with shared storage, … Yeah, not ideal. Linux, on the other hand is absolutely excellent for development, rock stable and does not serve you ads while opening the start menu. Before the Mac mini, I used my Windows setup for Gaming, Video Editing and Fusion360. My setup consists of my laptop (running Linux), my GPU desktop (dual booting Windows and Linux) and my M1 Mac Mini (running MacOS Ventura 13.1).Įach operating system has its niche. For heavy tasks like video editing, gaming and deep learning, I want to be able to remote into my home setup to offload the heavy lifting. The idea is simple, I have a framework laptop (which I LOVE), but it’s not very powerful. This is the story of how unbelievably cumbersome it has been to try and setup my remote working space. Use wake on LAN they said, it'll be fun they said. □
