  • Which program is the one that surprised you most that it is available on Linux?

  • You can also get Teams on Linux

  • Does Windows virtual machine crash due to low RAM?

  • I’ll just say that I don’t think you’ll ever get stability with 8gb for win 11

    First, I’ve never tried using Linux as a VM host, so there might be something in play I don’t know about. However, having run Windows 11 as a guest under Windows 11 and macOS, I can push Windows 11 down to 1 GB of RAM With no problems. It’s a little sluggish when opening apps but never unstable. Normally I run it with 4 GB.

  • What is something only old people say?

  • So not old, cool

  • Distro for a new user

  • I think you underestimate how many computers that are in use today that can’t be updated to Windows 11.

    I, and many others, have run Windows 10 on unsupported hardware. Difference is that Windows 10 didn’t care and Windows 11 actively try to stop you from doing so. So, what is this if not Microsoft now forcing people to buy new hardware, if they have unsupported hardware?

    Edit: What where the CPUs on the 2015 computers you upgraded?

  • I swapped the entire school computers to linux mint

  • Back in the DOS and Windows 3.1 days, they tried to lock it down with whatever software they had. We found a way around it. Even the DOS based menu system, we managed to copy the menu software out with its configuration file. Then we experimented with the “encrypted” password in the configuration file and found out that if we removed it, the system would allow you to do anything but that also meant we could create our own password and look at the “encrypted” password. We quickly found out that it was just shifting the ASCII table. We then “decrypted” the school password. Such 12 your old hackers 😆

  • Btw, I use Debian!

  • I was just to clarify that you're not sitting with software full of security issues because of older versions of packages. And then some bonus info on what "stable" means in Debian :-)

  • Btw, I use Debian!

  • Old but not necessarily out of date. The system is at a stable state. It’s working and we don’t want to make changes that can compromise stability. New features and other big code changes comes with increased risk of something breaking. Debian Stable means running code that have been tested and used a lot.

    Security fixes and critical bugs get back ported if feasible, or a package might get updated to a newer version.

  • Encryption is not a panacea, because if someone ever forgets their password (something common for the layperson), the data on that drive is inaccessible.

    It’s because of stuff like this that Microsoft wants people to create an Microsoft account. Recovery key automatically saved to your Microsoft account. For business the recovery key can also be automatically saved in a central location.

  • Any respectable company with Windows would be using BitLocker - full disk encryption. It’s super easy to setup if your computer has TPM, fully transparent for the user in most cases.

  • What was your first Linux distribution?

    Jump

  • Debian 3.1, but was not successful in getting X to work, but didn’t put a lot of effort into it. Then I got Mandrake running with X, but went back to Windows. On a small computer, I got FreeBSD running as a server but never used it, so that went away again. Knoppix a couple of times to recover data from failed Windows installations.

    Yeah, it’s not until recently that I installed Debian 12 on a old work laptop and was very impressed. Now I’m on the fence of having a stable distribution or sumthin with newer packages. I love the philosophy of Debian and the wide usage on servers but Arch is personally also up my alley, however I have not used it at all.

  • Corel Linux… that’s a while ago. I remember thinking that it was strange that Corel would come out with a Linux distribution.

  • I'm committing to Linux, but it's so unstable. Any suggestions?

    Jump

  • Yeah, Linux never had any issues with graphics …

  • I see these MFs on a daily basis

  • I am looking forward to Trixie <3

  • SuSE destroy collaborators like OL, CNC and probably Turbo

    I'm very new with this and have no idea what OL, CNC and Turbo are. Could you please elaborate?

  • Edit: In about two years I’ll probably be back to saying “forget all that, just run Debian Stable, because the very best stuff is already there.”

    Then there will just be some other stuff that has been developed that people want ;-)

  • You have a time machine with a single round trip. You hate everyone. And you are lazy. What is the least you can do to completely screw over the world with your one trip through time?

  • Stove vent hoods that don’t actually vent outside are fucking stupid

    Some places you can’t (for whatever reason) install a proper ventilator. Then these with carbon filter will remove some things. But yes, they are far inferior to the full blow vents.

  • Recumbent bicycles are better in almost every way

    No thanks. Might be nice for some long trips but for my daily use, I need something a little bit more compact and easy to load up with stuff and a kid.

  • Don’t know what you’re using but the tests of the ones available to me all shows very weak washing performance, some on par with washing only with water.

    Explanation is, in short, that there is not enough washing detergent in the sheets.
