  • Discover Hidden Gems: Open-Source Software You Should Know About

    Jump

  • Trillium Next: The last note taking software you will ever need. It works as a standalone, or in a client/server configuration across almost all platforms.

  • Linux has over 6% of the desktop market? Yes, you read that right - here's how

    Jump

  • Only allowed to use if your hostname is Epsilon3. And instead of systemd you get TheGreatMachine.

  • Say Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate

    Jump

  • I get it. But the moment we invoke RAID, or ZFS, we are outside what standard consumers will ever interact with, and therefore into business use cases. Remember, even simple homelab use cases involving docker are well past what the bulk of the world understands.

  • There is an enterprise storage shelf (aka a bunch of drives that hooks up to a server) made by Dell which is 1.2 PB (yes petabytes). So there is a use, but it's not for consumers.

  • Amazon asks corporate workers to ‘volunteer’ help with grocery deliveries as Prime Day frenzy approaches

    Jump

  • Not op but I'll do stuff from time to time that is well below my pay grade. Mind management understands that the pay difference and that I'm not doing my normal responsibilities if I'm helping out...

  • Microsoft is putting AI actions into the Windows File Explorer

    Jump

  • I'm a senior IT type. My work laptop is Debian.

    We like good pastries, coffee, good booze and feeling appreciated. Go make friends with the senior IT types and the help desk manager. Trust me it's with it.

  • Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce

    Jump

  • Also...

    1. everything is changeable. But not everything should be changed.
    2. There will come a time when you need to interact with the command line. This is expected, and no you did not do something wrong.
    3. Have fun.

    Oh if your looking for a distro? Mint is a great entry point (and even can support crusty old graybeards as well).

  • End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending

    Jump

  • Fair. And short of someone publishing a study I doubt we will ever know what the best entry point is. So, advocate the atomic distros, I'll advocate the crusty old dinosaur that moves (slightly) faster then molasses. And someone else reading this thread can recommend one of the rolling distros. At the end of the day to me the importance bit is that someone is interested in Linux as a whole.

    Jump

  • Also a lot harder to wrap your head around atomic distros when your first playing with Linux. Windows > a traditional distro (even arch) is a lot more similar then making the switch to an immutable distro.

    Jump

  • And to be clear. I'm not going to say Debian is not without it's flaws. It is the system you choose if all you care about is stability. Case in point, I work with Linux day in and day out for my job, the absolute last thing I want to do is tinker with my laptop when I'm not at work - so I picked Debian. For me, the absolute stability is the most important thing - for others the fact that software can come preconfigured or is just old will be deal breakers.

    As for Ubuntu vs Debian - ultimately they are similar. However Ubuntu has made some (IMO) choices I dislike (eg snaps).

    Jump

  • It's a different family then what you have been playing with, but if you want "just works and not fancy" - Debian.

    It won't have the latest and greatest software (security patches sure but nothing else). You trade that for stability.

  • While I knew some of this, I will happily say I did not know it all. Thank you for taking the time to do this level of info dump.

    Jump

  • Honestly. I have no idea. They generally all do the same basic thing. Get one that has features you like at a price you can live with.

  • Aw. I did not realize Bukele was also authoritarian. That was the missing part.

    Thanks!

  • It takes 5 mins to install and a few weeks to get comfortable using it. Then you wonder how you ever lived without it.

  • I'll be the first to admit that I'm not following every nuance about the deportations - but can someone point me in the direction to understand why El Salvador? Why there?

  • Canadians overwhelmingly oppose becoming 51st U.S. state: poll

    Jump

  • I mean. Imo that's only fair. Sure they are getting one of the world's larger economics (WA state + Portland), they are also getting Montana, Idaho, and a good chunk of the Dakota's...

  • Hell. Don't take the whole thing. Just move the boarder to the 45th parallel as opposed to the 49th.
