There will be a sea of Mac laptops and probably a bunch of vibe coders. Plus, it won't be streamed to contribute a maximum to carbon emissions. Yay.

    Was it the case last year? I haven't been in a while, but last time I was there it was definitely more people running Arch on Thinkpads than MacBooks.

    My experience was turning around while sitting at the front and seeing nearly exclusively CrApple logos. I left the event with he impression that the only people being able to pay to show up to the event were Mac owners.

    But Fosdem is free and Brussels is a cheap city, so I don't see why people would have to "be able to pay to show up"?

    In my experience there are very wide differences in audience between sessions, and I mostly see people with beards and ThinkPads, for my part.
