Fed up with macOS – it downloaded 47 GB of 4K 240FPS screensavers. Asahi FTW

I was troubleshooting why my storage was so low, found this folder: `/Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd/Customer/4KSDR240FPS` about 47 GB of 4K/240FPS movies macOS had downloaded for the screensaver.

Enough was enough, so I switched to Asahi Linux. Running Sway now my whole session (Firefox open) uses around 2 GB of RAM. I can recognize all the processes running — there are quirks, but they’re worth it for the control and freed-up space.
