I think they mean they already use linux. Or Unix.

Average Canonical employee post.

What does it steam? Buns? What does the 4K stand for?

Are you plugging in a headset through jack or USB? Or are you letting the speakers of your laptop do the work?

I know you’ve hopped from Mint to PopOS to Bazzite since, but I had a hard time getting built in speaker audio working on my laptop as well with Mint. I’d probably go with arch or something other bleeding edge.

What if you boot a windows installation, from an external drive or something? Does the sound come back?

I already use super+meta+arrows to move/tile windows around in xfce (modified it a bit from how it behaved in win10), but I was wondering if a tiling manager could elevate the experience.

How do you use it? Do you need to use hot keys constantly?

I just use a windows laptop for those occasions.

What mouse is that?

This is a joke comment, right? I upvoted it because it has to be a joke.

I have a volume, let’s call it “Shit I put in here that I have randomly acquired over the years”, mostly smallish files of any nature, text, image, executables, archives, that I’ve been carrying with me for over two decades, cloning from one drive upgrade to the next, surviving multiple systems. I’ve noticed that starting with Windows 7, defender without so much as a notification, started removing random files it deems malicious. I suspect they may have been quarantined at first, but other times outright deleted, as I’m sure the default behaviour settings have been overridden by updates numerous times.
I’ve had a couple executables that were doing direct memory reading and injection for some MMOs, think packet sniffing or botting/automating certain tedious tasks, and defender would eliminate the executable without so much as a warning when I have extracted backup archive of it.

Then there was the infamous case of DeCSS, and defender removing anything related to it from drives, ignoring white lists, removing it from SMBs even where it had write access, and always categorizing it as something else, now malicious.

And I’m pretty sure it also removed a copy of The Terrorist’s Handbook in doc format at one point from my drive.

Reading about it further, I was completely wrong about it. I2P is entirely self contained and exit proxies are not really a thing.

Your concerns may be warranted.

Just wait until they mandate embedding some sort of hardcoded device identification into LoRa devices.

I don’t think I2P can hold anything. It’s just anonymization through multiple hops, not a network within the network, no?

We can only speculate, but his infidelity with staffers was known, and him being on the Epstein list may have been the final straw.

And the reason Melinda divorced him.

This is it. Exactly it. Internal IT management wants a good, centrally managed system to lock down and control corporate devices. Heck, corporations often even contract this task (and help desk) to management companies.

Let’s assume the tools and the experts are there to perform these remote management shenanigans, after this it only comes to “money talks”. Don’t have to replace a 2-4yo laptop with a new one if the old one still performs fine for another 2-4 years. So then you have to weigh the cost of expertise against slower amortization.

My company disabled VPN access for anything but macOS and Win11. Because even though the VPN we use is mandated to be used with a closed source app, and the app has a Linux version, the IT dudes couldn’t exit vim when asked to manually edit /etc/environment

I disagree. Majority of average office workers do not use CAD software. It’s not a hurdle to widespread adoption.

This is why I can’t be angry at people that didn’t vote or voted 3rd party instead of democrats. People were rightfully disenfranchised. It’s like blaming a rape victim for dressing a certain way.

You mean a minority? Trump won by 2.3m votes going by popular vote.

Whatever you do, don’t switch to the react start menu OS.

Stay on win10 with an ltsc version, or don’t. Get a second SSD or your crotch goblins mom’s laptop that you install Fedora, LMDE or another “easy” distro on to experiment with. Either way, you are not in a rush. Win10 support ending is not as imminent.

Honestly, at 1.5 months it’s hard. Really hard. But once you get the pattern down and sleep schedule starts stabilizing, say 4-6 months in, it may be your most productive time when you know the kid is asleep for the next few hours.

This is how I’ve learned to solder and build mechanical keyboards during the first kid hitting that age# and ditched ms shit for Linux during the second. There’s always other challenges, but not having to deal with a user hostile OS reduces stress tremendously.
