I would probably not recommend newcomers an esoteric linux distro tbh. People hate canonical but if people in academia can daily drive Ubuntu, anyone can

Non-computers people have been using Ubuntu for a decade. It’s far from perfect, but I’d refrain from basing judgement on a niche platform

All the best ones are cross platform

I’d bet a lot of money the average English speaker pronounces Volkswagen with a “vee” at the beginning

What’s yours? This whole “pirates are also buyers” is just a cop-out, but sure your anecdotic experience is valid proof against the more logical alternative

Yeah the us defaultism really shows here.

No one’s saying the points raised are not valid, just that there’s no need to be a cunt about it in what should be a professional setting.

The fact that you write POC instead of “black people” shows how ridiculous this whole conversation is.

I’m hoping federation will allow me to get rid of my github entirely, but that’s wishful thinking I fear

I don’t have experience in IT, but 5/7 places I’ve been to supported multiple OSes, and the one thing I can definitely agree with is; that the cheaper places seem to hire clickops for their IT team and wonder why everything is so difficult.

We don’t need to replace every accountant’s Excel with LibreOffice overnight, but forcing your dev team to basically setup their own mini IT infra to get anything done is incredibly inefficient. I spend a few hours every week dealing with hanging explorer, crashing software, filesystem operations, buggy windows manager etc.

The day your machine is compromised is also the day ALL your passwords get stolen.

But it is, do you not understand what rust brings compared to these two languages ?

I spent my day today setting up nginx with mtls at work, and I actually think it’s a great approach for what op is trying

It’s not that it’s inherently safe, but that Microsoft is inherently not.

Yes, but you mentioned importing old content is problematic, and I don’t see why?

I wouldn’t really call this a hack, electronic devices would cost twice as much of every OEM had to come up with their own hardware, drivers, frontend etc. Besides, this allows hobbyists to play with their hardware much more easily

They have already access to SO’s CC content, why would they get it from the fediverse?

You’re being purposefully obtuse. Corporate distro means “by and for companies” which rolling releases are not

You didn’t know GPUs are used for training/running DNN?

Complaining about PC but type the word “fuck”? Genius.
