    MP 6,1 Wifi in Ubuntu with a mac pro 6,1

    Hey all. I recently picked up a very nice 10 core garbage can. Windows 10 and mac os work fine on it. However I can’t get wifi in Ubuntu. I’m running Ubuntu 23 with the broadcom drivers installed and enabled but only ethernet is available. Am I missing something here?

    USB drive format (Ubuntu<->macOS)

    I'd think I'm going to need software for giving my macOS read/write access to a 32GB USB drive that is formatted ext4. I was looking at Paragon's extFS for Mac, but wasn't sure if it was worth the buy. Is there a way to allow read/write to drives from the Terminal? Or some free software perhaps? 😬

    Upgrade ideas Mac mini mid 2010

    I had an old mac mini mid 2010 lying around, and I decided to restore it to life, after I realized that a RAM-upgrade to 16 GB could in fact improve its performance considerably.

    Lenovo ThinkPad - Ubuntu desktop

    I have been an Apple fanatic since 2006 when I ditched my Windows desktop in an effort to ditch my video game habit. At that time Apple was not that great for games but it allowed me to browse the web and pay my bills securely. Perfect. Since that time I have purchased and used 2 MacBooks, 1...

    Ubuntu UTM settings, x86 emulation

    Does anyone know anyway to get better performance out of the x86 emulation? I am not looking for anything crazy but maybe at least 5-10 fps. I found this post that helped a little bit but I'm wondering if anyone knows better settings.

    UbuntuBook Pro?

    Hey there! I recently have been pondering about switching to Ubuntu, or an Ubuntu based OS (Zorin/ElementaryOS). I enjoy the Mac ecosystem, but my main Mac is a Hackintosh (Similar specs to a low end 2013 Mac Pro but better GPU) and my MacBooks are a 13" and 17" from 2009 and 2010, respectively...

    Anyone using Vagrant with Parallels Technical Preview 2 with Ubuntu

    Has anyone tried using Parallels Technical Preview 2 with Ubuntu to run Vagrant? I am waiting to see if Apple Releases an M1X that will support 64 GB of RAM and have 16 threads and not have the bottle necks of the I/O on the current M1. All this means nothing, if I can't run Vagrant with...
