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’m curious if anybody else sees tailscale / headscale in the same way that I do — I was avoiding signing up to tailscale because I didn’t want to be locked into a proprietary platform, but since learning that headscale exists and is “good enough”, I’m now happy to be a tailscale customer safe in the knowledge that I can fall back to self-hosting when needed.
(Yes the company _could_ do a sudden 180 and start intentionally breaking compatibility and forbidding that their clients be used with third-party servers - but the risk of that doesn’t seem much different than the risk of an open-source alternative being abandoned)

Probably having a full time job that people will actually support? Open source software doesn't reward effort.
Headscale does not have a nice UI, its basically all CLI usage. There's very good reason to use Tailscale for companies and there's also good reasons for Tailscale to support an opensource implementation of their control server, I've seen it from both ends as people go either way, it's a symbiotic relationship and probably one of the best examples in open source today.
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.

Thanks. Longtime user of VirtualBox which has the advantage of being easier to set up. Nor have I ever found VB's performance to be noticeably lacking, but it does seem plagued with bugs that never get fixed. And I've been exposed to QEMU through the Android Device Emulator in Android Studio. So I was wondering whether it's worth moving all my VB machines over to QEMU too.
I've always been put off by the fact QEMU needs configuring via commandline to set up. But if it was worth the effort, I'd make the jump.
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.
