While I agree with you that reluctance to use the terminal for literally anything is way too high, regular users shouldn’t have to. And some distros make that easy for them to never have to stick a toe into the terminal, and this is not a bad thing.
Or isn’t deleted but either has no replies or replies that didn’t help them either
What are you talking about? Law absolutely can specify that something is allowed.
Okay, turned it off. If a site needs my location it can ask me and I can politely tell it to fuck off unless it has a warrant.
And he actually likes Tesla
And he wonders why NASA turned him down for bringing those astronauts back…
I’m sure he already calls his lawyers every day at 3 AM while half blitzed on K to pitch exactly that
On top of that, even the server setup they talked about wouldn’t actually cost that much energy to run, because that’s not all that will be running on it. That physical host will likely have dozens or even hundreds of servers running on it, and the small menu serving webserver will account for hardly any of the power draw from the hosts.
Oh, and I almost forgot: the company is going to have a website anyway, what company today serving the public doesn’t? Adding a page or two isn’t going to raise the power consumption in any measurable way if at all.
Was going to say, it’s West if you go far enough
He’s clearly not paying enough then
ESPECIALLY red ones.
They go faster.
How about the submarine he was going to build to save kids in a cave that obviously would have drowned long before he could have even really started work? But it’s okay, he could just accuse the guy who actually saved their lives of being a pedo
That’s not just limited, that’s an incredibly tiny bit of user rights assignments, which is an incredibly tiny part of group policy and does nothing to configure the system… It’s useful, but not really what I’m talking about
As cool as that is, I’m only seeing authentication and rights management, which have little to do with what GPOs do
As kludgey as they are, though, I do wish there was a good replacement for GPOs in Linux
I have no clue what the issues are with Cinnamon getting messed up, but mine works just fine still. Even went back to using it for a bit when changing my monitor setup broke KDE for a bit (some poller service wasn’t getting the responses it was expecting and it kept messing up the resolutions and disconnecting one of them until I figured it out and turned it off)
Sounds like they were right

Any recommendations on how to get started with that? I’ve been using it but without digging through a frankly intimidating list of configuration options, I’m not feeling like it’s really adding much value yet
I’d take it a step further that by “by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts”, they’re really meaning “it’s for the elites”. They like that it’s hard, they had to work to learn it and they’ll be damned if anyone should get it easier, and also it’s a way to flex on people.
I may be overstating this person’s take on it and reading more into it than is there, but that’s my general view of this enthusiast (elitist) mindset, and really, it isn’t doing anyone any favors.
Regular joes can’t really hurt the direction of this ecosystem; corpos are limited in the influence they have over it, and anyone can exclude their contributions (even systemd can be left out still). But more people using it means more resources available to improve things and more interest in that happening. It also means more direct support for mainstream programs rather than just a hodge podge of companies throwing out minimally usable versions as a proof of concept and not bothering to go further with the work of Wine, Valve through Proton and Steam Deck, and CodeWeavers, to pick up the slack and try to get things to mostly work right.
Anyway, tl;dr, I agree with you… The Gentoos and Arches aren’t going away just because there’s more mainstream interest, if anything they’ll get more enthusiasts to join because they got the itch from the easier distros, much like a gateway drug.
