No reason for a full compatibility layer when we already have GNOME

Tangentially related, but theres a reason why Pakistan’s field marshall has the internet nickname of “Hafiz Whiskey”

Really wanna try a perma switch from Fedora just cuz they include a nice grub theme lmao.

Plus I like that its proper rolling instead of staged releases.

Who do you think props up UAE and all the other oil states you fool?

Problem is Microsoft has leverage in several enterprise categories like teams, office, etc.

There have been successful corporate switches in Linux, with even dedicated 1:1 UX skins to keep even the most poorly skilled users happy, but lots of corporations are just way too vendor locked.

It doesn’t matter how total garbage win 11 or teams gets, anyone locked in is gonna be stuck, kinda like what happened with vmware.

Microsoft’s biggest mistake though is basing their QoL and overall OS design on the home market. If they lose their leverage there, even mid size or older corps may seriously consider transitioning or trialing Linux as a test.

It’s very hard to convince leadership to abandon vendor locked deals, but they eat up anything that demonstrates slashed costs and improved productivity. If a vendor like SUSE shows up with a complete package, they may genuinely consider if MSFT takes a real nosedive.

Watching the boot log eh?

This is the same BS CrowdStrike uses to sell their rootkit EDR. I mean, by all means it is a very solid EDR, but it’s being used exclusively to cover gaping holes in discrete security as a cop out for not properly composing enterprise infrastructure.

A kernel space agent should only really be running in an environment where every process must be heavily scrutinized and the design of the kernel module is tightly controlled and itself under constant review, like in a proper data center with thousands of critical nodes. Not your laptop or the shitty windows box used to display ads in the screens at the airport.

Crowdstrike keeps spamming new features and techniques without serious consideration to keep their enterprise customers happy, similar to crappy solutions like Vanguard.

Covering obvious blatant logic flaws should be included in your server software, it’s the same as sanity checking your inputs because there is always the possibility in may not match what you expect.

From that experience, I’m very comfortable saying that if a game supports Proton or Linux, they’re not serious about anti-cheat

This statement is especially insulting to the massive library of games that successfully added Linux support without so much as a hint of issue relating to cheating. Even crappy outsourced dev War Thunder doesn’t need to do anything after enabling EAC/BattilEye because they actually spend the .000001% extra cash from their whale revenue to run a service moderation team.

Hell even Valve’s VAC system is mostly just about automating moderation tasks so that hackers can be taken down ASAP instead of a lengthy review process.

Or you know, the thousands of games that have better game logic than Rust’s anticheat.

Reminds me of Benazir Bhutto as Prime Minister in Pakistan.

Her PPP party bombed Imran Khan’s cancer hospital a day after he announced his own PTI party.

Couldn’t you just lazy build your own images if you don’t trust the source?

Even then most of these containerized apps can be run perfectly fine as a host binary, you just have to make your own start script and a systemd unit which isn’t that bad.

You could then build a completely custom image if you’d like, or move it into a VM if you don’t like the idea of running it baremetal.

How does it compare to Photoprism? Been on that solution for a while and I really like it, but have seen lots of people suggest Immich as well.

EDIT: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism

Lol you think this is bad, you should have seen when they still had r/Chodi

Reddit had a massive a ganges cesspool long before it took a nosedive in practically every other type of content and feature.

Shehbaz Sharif (Asim Munir) and Netanyahu already did; why are people trying to form a line for this lol

I like how they can’t even name China as making more nukes, just “enhanced capabilities” because it’s well known that China doesn’t mass produce nukes just like every other nuclear power like UK, France, India. Pakistan, etc.

Ubuntu and Docker.

Really? Netplan alone disqualifies Ubuntu as a “friendly stable starter distro”, and I can guarantee you that your guide will somehow become outdated with a single new Ubuntu release, or some poor soul who accidentally selected an LTS release.

Docker doesn’t matter as much, but there’s a reason beyond just FOSS licensing why podman exists.

Would highly recommend Debian instead.

I started on Ubuntu similar to this many years ago and both the server and desktop experience was not fun at all.

Or some kind of National Instituion of Standards and Technology

Both. WIndows 8 added a ton of unnecessary operations, part in due to the horrendous new PWA system they made to replace all the proven software.

NTFS meanwhile functionally reflects FAT32. It has no proper block allocation algorithm, so files get fragmented and placed in poor locations all over the physical disk. Tools like defraggler became super popular because they provided serious and visible IO gains from defragging your drives.

Compare that to ext4 which only begins to fragment once you hit something like 95%+ capacity.

Pakistan Air Force after their J-10C “sales demo”:

The funny thing is even though it has been done, there’s not even that much of an incentive to do it because Windows on consumer side has so little defense that most attackers opt for lazy premade viruses sold on the darkweb, and Windows on enterprise side is so insanely insecure that the only groups that make high end rootkit level software are usually government backed APTs.

Microsoft also very conveniently avoided making a new filesystem from old ass NTFS because SSDs started popping up around the time Window’s IO operations were clogging every old machine with HDDs.

I remember upgrading from 7 to 8 and the disk IO just sat at a solid 100% at idle lol.

HEVC support is enabled for Firefox 134

Cool for anyone not using AV1 which I assume is a big chunk of the userbase because not everyone has good AV1 hardware acceleration lol

Can’t tell if he’s joking considering all of his videos as a former MSFT engineer.

Then again, he is a former MSFT engineer lol.
