@Guenther_Amanita @musaoruc seconded. The Kobos are great. I blogged about plato, alternative reading software, recently: https://jmtd.net/log/plato/

@juliank apparently the MBA will thermal throttle much more quickly than the MBP (which might have active cooling, not sure), which might be important for some people/workloads. I recently set up an M2 MBA and a M1 Max MBP, very different feeling machines

Thanks @juliank for resolving my 15-year-old Debian bug! https://bugs.debian.org/481542
In particular this grumble brought to you by hours trying to debug gpg-agent indefinite hangs
For years of my professional IT life, I cursed at SELinux. I can finally relive those days again in Debian today, with AppArmor, seemingly enabled by default on minimal installs!
