very useful! how do you finance this? ads in the email?

I think it's interesting that all recent contributions to this "open source alternative" are done by a tailscale employee. Wonder what's preventing them from making the official client open-source

I've recently tried different Linux distros (Fedora, Ubuntu, PopOS) on my 2013 MacBook since Catalina is soon going to be deprecated and will not receive any security updates.

Installing the wifi drivers is annoying since the distros ship without proprietary drivers (broadcom). You either have to plug it in via cable (use an adapter) or use tethering with your phone to download the drivers after installation. But this is fine since you only have to do it once.

More problematic is the CPU temp which is on average around 15C higher on Linux than on macOS. I've done a lot of research on this but couldn't figure a way to lower it, and from what I can tell this is a common problem with people who run linux on a macbook.

You'll definitely notice it when placing your laptop on your lap. Of course you can increase the fan speed but then the laptop is a bit louder. If you can live with a slightly hotter or louder laptop then running linux on your macbook is fine, everything works. Right now I'm still using macOS until support runs out.

I'll run a few benchmarks soon to see how performance differs. I'm running this on an early-2013 macbook and notice a big difference in performance and responsiveness.

There's also https://virt-manager.org/ as a GUI for QEMU. Brew forumular here https://github.com/jeffreywildman/homebrew-virt-manager. But they don't mention HVF support, so I'm not sure it'll work

oh this is cool, didn't know about it, thanks!

QEMU is more responsive and performant
