  • Didn't mean it like that. The girl I just talked to came to me first. I really don't expect every girl to come of me but you're right regardless. I just was a bit sad.

  • Is there a way to download a Windows.iso anonymously?

    Jump

  • That's what I ended up doing and it worked. I think I used like FreeDOS or something like that.

  • Did you choose for Linux for freedom or ...

  • Yes, I install Libreboot myself with a RaspberryPi and Pomona 5250 testing clip. Anything that's already supported by Coreboot, can be supported to Libreboot. They have a list of hardware that they currently support listed here:

    https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/#supported-hardware

    I actually sold Libreboot laptops previously on eBay, I used to sell the T440p a lot. Now, I'm about to setup my own website so I can start selling them for even cheaper. I also helped add Libreboot support for the Dell Optiplex 9020/7020 (Real thanks goto Mate Kukri, as I used his Optiplex port from Coreboot).

  • What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?

    Jump

  • You right, my bad bro

  • What do you think about the idea that we're in a simulation?

    Jump

  • Exactly, it's not crazy to think like that. I mean, the person who said that could be right, but still, let's not immediately jump to conclusions by saying they have mental issues.

  • What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?

    Jump

  • Well, who else in the world has been trying to a pass multibillion dollar aid package to Ukraine for the past couple months? The aid is about to get voted on this weekend.

  • We're going to buy the enterprise support plans for Nextcloud and Proxmox. I understand that some specialized knowledge would be needed, but we're making guides for it where anyone can do it (guides for flashing Coreboot, setting up Nextcloud, etc., this will be a guide for my boss for him to look back on). We will test this through slowly and try to see if this is something we can realistically do or not.

  • I'm a low level IT Support Specialist (it's my first IT job), I honestly just recommended all these and my boss wants to go through with it, plus it's something I love to do. In the coming weeks we will start to implement Coreboot w/ LinuxBoot and Proxmox onto most of our machines. I've messed with Coreboot a lot, not a dev, just good enough to build/customize and install it for them. I honestly want to see the world change, I mean hell yeah money is great too, but at the end of the day, all I want is for other companies/people to see that this way of doing computing is much better. Sure, you may have to get through the hurdles of learning it, but if you have someone to guide you it makes it so much easier. Now imagine if everyone used it, everyone could lend a helping hand.

  • Just wait until Windows 10 drops support, we'll probably see a 2%-4% increase within a year. Who knows, maybe more. I was fine with Windows 10, but when I made the move to Windows 11, I said fuck no. It's what made me switch to Linux as a daily operating system. I'd say with tools like ChatGPT, it will make it much easier for your average joe to switch over. Windows has reached peak enshittification. Do more, teach people, show people how much money they can save.

    I already convinced the company I started working at to replace their outdated BIOS firmware with Coreboot. And soon, we're going to start using Proxmox VE on all of our machines. We have about 40-50 computers, and we're going to install it on every single one of them (edge virtualization) and manage it them all from a server. Once that's done, we'll have even a bigger incentive to switch to Linux. I'll also soon setup Nextcloud with OnlyOffice, as a replacement for Microsoft Office. I hope to see us transition over fully.

    They probably spend around $5000-$6000/more a year in licensing for software. Once we have all Free Software, I think it'll truly be better for the long run. Sure, a couple issues with people getting used to it, but these are short term issues, down the line we can save so much money and have better security/privacy.

  • A large state corporation in Brazil is currently trialing 800 Linux PCs. If successful, it will deploy and replace 22k Windows installs, comparable to the migration happening in Germany.
