ltsc iot is on my gaming pc that I spin up once biweekly. Got the os from massgrave and most of the games from fitgirl.

If it’s a competition of getting work done, Linux is clearly superior. Windows has always just gotten in my way when I’m trying to do something with the OS.

There’s no denying though that you gotta use the right tool for the job. I ain’t forkin my time over to get Linux to work with triple-A pirated games and all that VM and wine shit. I’m just going to install ltsc and forget about it. Just as how I’m not wasting my time on Windows to install software packages, libraries, or whatever the fuck Subsystem is.

Kids these days should be taught the anarchist’s cookbook so they can mail their local representative a mace bomb.

It seems like I woke it up from a decade-long hibernation and is unable to boot. However, the disk reads fine in an enclosure.

Publisher matters. Some random website advertising a disk cleaning utility could be malware while a Fitgirl repack most definitely isn’t. Installing something from an official Ubuntu software repository is also pretty safe, while something from a 3rd party repository or community development library could be malware. I also generally trust PDFs from Anna’s Archive and Libgen or Internet Archive, because of the reputation loss to them if it were. You can minimize your risk to a tolerable level this way.

I’ve got news for you, that’s slime not mint.

Mac OS X was installed in 2010/2011. Back when people didn’t hate Apple.

My dad did in 2011. Wikipedia says this is a popular model to Hackintosh.

One thing I will agree with is to stop using SCP.

It was deprecated a while back and older, but more experienced Unix wizards still suggest it. SFTP is an alternative, but rsync also works.

Thank you so much, made my morning

Skip Fedora and leap straight to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,”

But also

“DHS is leading efforts to conduct welfare checks on these children to ensure that they are safe and not being exploited, abused, and sex trafficked,”

Lmao. Lmao. Lmao.

Guys, let me into your school, guys. If you don’t let me into the school you’re a pervert and sex trafficker. Now don’t stop me from taking these kids, they’re dangerous criminals that need to be deported.

Fucking politics. Pandering to another reason while concealing your true motive, whatever orange man wants.

In that instance maybe run docker with gluetun and qbitnox. It’s a bit difficult to setup but will sort of achieve what you’re looking for.

Can you set the interface in qbit to tun?

My favorite part tbh

“If you spam for heals you will not be healed”

That one was personal.

Email that aligns with our values of privacy, freedom and respect of our users. No ads, no selling or training AI on your data – just your email and it is your email.

That sentence calms my concerns with Mozilla, though it’s a little confusing given the stance they tried to posture.

Ffs finally. “Experimental” my ass, also - it’s not a new thing, zypperoni has it.

On old Plasma versions (Debian) the Lock Screen manager would crash pretty much every week until I upgraded to the latest release.

“Are [mainframe OS, non-flagship/consumer OS] [consumer device] ready in [Current Year]?”

Not to be an asshat about it, but this is what the title reads to me. I’d love a Linux mobile distribution, but really what that’s asking for is: optimized mobile driver kit for an open hardware platform, and the ability to manufacture them at an economy of scale to deliver quality without paying out the ass for. I feel like this is difficult because that development time required to have a stable software and the hardware itself would require tons of money, so one would have to be sacrificed since FOSS devs don’t really have a lot of money… since they do it for free.
