I installed Linux on this 8-inch mini laptop, and it's my new favorite way of computing (www.zdnet.com)

You didn't buy it intending to run VMs on it without checking that it could actually run VMs did you? haha

I get your point though - iPad Pros have absolutely killer hardware that is let down by iPadOS. I would own one of the latest ones if it ran MacOS.

Noooo lmao, I bought it because I had the means and I thought I deserved to buy myself a nice tablet for once, instead of the shitty Samsung A-series or cheap Kindles I'd been attempting to poke and prod at... So when I heard about the M1 going into the iPad, I jumped at it. The "potential" was a bonus.

Now, it's just a glorified youtube machine that occasionally sees OBD-II usage for my cars. Which my Pixel, or a shitty Samsung A-series, or a Kindle can also do.
