I fled curse forge during the troubles, but I get you.

And that’s great news. I have so few vices and I love popping in as a stinking casual when I have a half-hour.

I thought it was naive as well, but because they based it on a mayfly distro that has really great validation and reliability but it’s gone in a fortnight.

Wither Almalinix or Cloudlinux or PCLinuxOS or Mandriva? Three of them have really solid support structures and at least one of them has amazing compatibility options with libraries for services.

There are options. A few of them could be better than fedora while fedora is still owned by redhat as redhat dies from suffocation – hell, its all just fucking ancillary bull (Ansible) they sell now, as its metastatic cancer (Systemd) eats it alive.

Having seen SuSE destroy collaborators like OL, CNC and probably Turbo, I’m okay never even working with them as a customer. I intend to avoid them until death.

Kerberos, you say? Single sign-on?

Have you heard about the LDAP and Kerberos configured as part of setting up samba4ad?

I accidentally enabled SSO SSH a few years back. My samba units aren’t on PIs but they could be. They’re just on tiny tiny VMs.

Facebook made one. They attached a gorgeous voice-controlled video-chat-on-tv setup to it, and released it just as they lost all consumer trust.

Then they decided it wasn’t selling.

So they killed it instead of open-sourcing it

just saying.

Linux (Flatpak)

So, no, then.

I am one of these people.

Last I used the desktop was 1996: modelines, xfree86 errors, etc. Not since. I’ve used Linux every day of the last 30 years, 28 as a pro. It’s fed me, housed me, delighted me and frustrated me.

But even when I worked at a distro that shipped two Unix variants and an Enterprise Linux distro of its own, everyone at the shop was on windows 98se and vandyke for ssh. It was simply more reliable for the tiny use case and the time : we didn’t want Devel upended because the team had a crashing wm, and our use case was Mozilla, VanDyke, WinAMP. Really-really.

Do I understand it’s improved since then? Of course. Do I want to support my mom running Linux desktop or run it myself? The thought frightens me to my core. I don’t have time in my day for the added hassle when we just need SeaMonkey, zoom, and (for me) putty and WoW.

But win10 is dying, and ImTiredBoss.jpg of learning the shit of a new MS desktop every goddamned time so I can coach them over the phone as their eyesight and hearing declines like my patience. This year stands a good chance of seeing my return to a Linux desktop and theirs too.

Wow works, right?

Isn’t the video the jingle part that Google added to jabber originally (before it dumped everything to remake it from the group up about 4 more times like a GSoC crossed over with groundhogDay)?

There’s no text chat in mumble? Really? (I seem to remember otherwise, sorry)

Wow, what a wall of text. I’m sorry but I’m sure I skimmed some parts.

Look. The bulk of the replies you’re going to get will be like “this is my favourite distro and here’s how it works for you” not “this is the best distro for your criteria.” It’s important to understand the deep level of bias you’re going to get.

But your cause is a noble one. I use a particular style of distro because it can be trusted to install well, back out well, do both safely, and allow validation at every stage. I think it’s a good candidate, and it’s already been mentioned as a really great ‘set it and forget it’ distro.

Good luck.

The only thing they offer is bare source?

I like they’ve just given up on trying to understand things like filesystem layouts and fucking systemd - which is cool - but now they own dependency hell and inconsistent installs in trade.

Nah. I’ll get a package where I can confirm the contents, check the sigs, reproduce the build and then deploy it with its dependencies in a reliable, verifiably-consistent process.

Sources, sigs, signed BoM. Wheeee!

Yum-cron is the way.

Maybe immich will see the way.

will only work on specific arm computers anyway.

For now.

Still two words.

How did it play under Linux?

Look, I’d get my Mom to switch to linux if she still had a chance to play warcraft. Does it play on a rolling RPM release so I don’t have to periodically reinstall the OS? I’m serious. This is almost the only reason I don’t switch the family – very particular games.

This seems to be a dependency failure.

I’m sad that we had this solved 20 years ago. It’s like Texas measles.

Corel was beautiful. It was, like gWave, ahead of its time.

And, being from Corel, it wasn’t only beautiful, but also tainted by PTSD from using CorelDRAW, which was so bad that the user needed to reboot after/while using it to reclaim leaked RAM.

a 300 dollar computer is absolute shit

You, sir, need to see what an Optiplex 7040 can do.
