Just upgraded my M1 Air, loving the new animated wallpapers and lock screen.
My only pet peeve is that the offline phase of the upgrade took a whole 20 minutes - something which no other OS requires - yes, even for Windows, the offline phase of an upgrade is usually in single digits.
So this is something Apple definitely needs to improve upon.

I that case, check out Fedora CoreOS.
It runs entirely in RAM, administration is super simple, no ssh, easy to update/and upgrade, immutable, minimal distro designed specifically for secure container usage.
That looks like a fun mix of analog and digital, done right. I might have to pop into to our local pinball place and see if they’ve got anything similar.
What do those season 1/2/3 panels do btw?
How about Gogs? The whole thing is < 30 MB, and is lightweight enough to run on a Raspberry Pi. You can even get a native binary package if you want to run it without the overhead of Docker.
Oh. I was expecting Okonomiyaki.
I’m afraid your info is a bit out-of-date. Firstly, most Chromebook are pretty useful even offline these days - most importantly, you can create and edit documents offline, which is the primary use-case for OP’s partner. Second, you don’t need to root a Chromebook any more to install Linux - installing Linux is literally just 4 clicks (Settings > Advanced > Developers > Linux), which would then install Debian in less than 10 minutes.
Edit: Also, Google just announced that they’re extending the support for Chromebooks to 10 years now: https://www.zdnet.com/article/google-extends-chromebook-lifespan-to-ten-years/
Chromebook might a good idea
In fact, if her needs beyond writing are limited (eg no need to play games or run some proprietary software), then a Chromebook would probably be the best option. One thing I’d recommend though is to go for an ARM based Chromebook (eg using Snapdragon or a Mediatek chipset), as these tend to have a much better battery life compared to something with an Intel or AMD CPU. ARM Chromebooks also tend to be thinner and run cooler. Also, ideally I’d recommend getting at least 8GB RAM for better multitasking.
The problem with iPads on the other hand is that they can be quite expensive, and lack some of the flexibility a Chromebook might have (eg, say you wanna store your written documents locally and then copy it to a USB drive or something). Most importantly, keyboard covers are kinda meh - especially for a writer - and the lack of a proper hinge/support means you can only use your iPad whilst it’s propped up on a table, so you can’t use it say if you’re lying on the bed or couch etc.
Yep, just use the rectangular selection from the edge panel and you can save it as a screenshot or extract the text.
Native Alpha is an opensource alternative.
I left Reddit because Spez is an asshole and he killed third-party API access (which, btw, impacted more than just clients - many useful bots/scripts died too as a result of this change).
For many of us, Sync was Reddit, and killing Sync basically killed Reddit for us, but now that Sync is back (for Lemmy), many of us are more than happy to pay a subscription to support the dev, instead of supporting Reddit. ljdawson is an awesome developer who actually listens to his users and updates his apps regularly. If you don’t want to support him and/or use a different app, that’s your call of course, but for fans of Sync, it’s like coming back home after a long time and getting that feeling of “there’s no place like home”.
That could represent the non-standard Androids, like Huawei. :p
The Nothing Phone is nice for that, but sadly they decided to NOT use RGB and only stick to white LEDs for some weird reason.
I will, because none of the apps or web apps right now are optimized for tablets/foldables, so really looking forward to Sync supporting this at launch! (ljdawson already confirmed this btw).
Besides, Sync (for Reddit) had a lot of advanced features that set it apart from others, such as being able to save message drafts, built-in kamojis, advanced markdown formatting controls, post/content filters and so on, I reckon we’ll get to see these in Sync for Lemmy as well, if not at launch then surely down the line.

How? I’m using Samsung Internet and wefwef, I don’t get the install as an app icon that normally appears in the address bar - nothing in that menu either.
The other poster failed to mention the biggest advantage of Rust - it’s inherently a lot more secure and a lot less vulnerable to bugs compared to other languages. For starters, Rust is designed to eliminate common programming errors like null pointer dereferencing, buffer overflows, and data races, which can lead to serious security vulnerabilities.
Also, variables in Rust are immutable by default, which means they cannot be changed once they’re set. It’s also strongly typed, which is strictly enforced and there are no implicit conversions. PHP, however, is loosely typed and does perform implicit type conversion, which can lead to unexpected results and potential security vulnerabilities.
I could go on, but then we’d be getting a bit too technical for this space.
Sure, I mean it’s not a big deal. But it felt a bit odd considering macOS and Apple Silicon usually flies in pretty much every other task, so the lengthy update just felt a bit out of place.
