I'm using Parallels and it is great on an Apple Silicon Mac, but I'm a long-time VMware Workstation and Fusion user, so I'd like to try it again.
Driving at 80mph on a highway will greatly reduce the range of any EV, compared to 45 mph. Using high-draw features like heating (also depends on the type of heating used) will also drain the battery faster.
Cold temperatures also reduce range, but it depends on the EV. Teslas cool or heat the battery to keep an optimal battery temperature. Nissan Leaf uses air cooling, which means repeated supercharging in hot weather overheats the battery, so they cannot make long trips. So Teslas are less affected by hot and cold temperatures than some other EVs. So it depends on the EV.
EV users need to educate themselves on how electric cars operate regarding range. It's not unique to Tesla by any means.
Then in the future, depending on your needs, use alternative applications, like many of the excellent Affinity programs such as Affinity Photo (vs Adobe Photoshop), Affinity Designer (vs Adobe Illustrator), etc. that are an affordable one-time purchase. Likewise Luma Fusion video editor (on iPad) instead of Adobe Premiere Pro or Final Cut.
I thought not.
Oh wait, they didn't actually turn on Full Self Driving, so the whole "test" is bogus.
Disingenuous.
I recently put the latest Ubuntu LTS Linux on a spare laptop, as I needed a laptop. Sure, it was fun configuring everything for a day or so. But then it started to grind me down, as Linux always seem to do (for a personal computer - it's fantastic on servers).
Then I had a new, big project come in and bought a new MacBook Pro 13" with the M1 chip.
Wow.
I have never had a computer anywhere near as nice as this. Very fast. Light. Days of battery. Screen is fantastic. Best keyboard I've ever used. Best trackpad I've ever used by far. Never gets hot, barely warm, fan rarely comes on. I can do things like extend my screen to my iPad Pro 12.9" OR use Universal Control to control both from either keyboard/mouse/trackpad.
It has the Touchpad, which I'm undecided about but mostly like.
I work on Linux servers all the time, and the free/open source iTerm2 is a really really good terminal app.
It's BSD Unix under the hood, so most Linux commands also work here, and there's Homebrew to install whatever you like.
And the productivity apps are fantastic, many of which only exist on the Apple platforms, like Omnifocus.
So yes, I like Linux, but I'm so much more productive using a Mac these days.
So I don't really get where the OP is coming from.
Like window tracking - yes, I've used that on Linux but I actually find it equally annoying. If it's on, I don't like it. If it's off, I sometimes miss it ;-)
