Have you considered Bazzite? Similar to Nobara, but it’s immutable. You can treat it like an appliance and even updates itself

I have an OG Vive, it works fine. I have more issues wrestling with the flatpak version of steam’s steamVR components than with the actual hardware

good if they’re gaming on old hardware I am sure. Mint lacks modern feature enablement and it baffles me that people keep recommending it

my ostree updates fine

KDE Discover does my updates without passwords just fine

I bought solid explorer at the dawn of android and still use it to this day

to be fair they gave a motivation for their comment. They aren’t tearing down a windows user, or even evangelising it, in fact you’re the one having an issue.

Sounds like buying a steam deck with extra steps for the person who wrote this article haha

Steam Deck is not available in all regions and grey imports can be a hassle, for some people this is the safer road

I bought premium years ago as part of Google Music family (pre yt-music) and stuck with it, it was affordable. I am more than capable of blocking the ads over the years. Other members of my family want to use YT without ads on a myriad of devices. When the price got hiked at the start of the year I was really annoyed, and probably would have dropped the service if it were just me. However my family made it pretty clear that they did not want to jump through the hoops of blocking the ads.

It’s clowning on the confusing production codes of the simpsons episodes themselves, which can be a bit cryptic. The simpsons archives has an explainer

It’s hip to be a…

I rebase my work machine to rawhide just for fun and testing

what’s your plan on teaching these people to maintain their selfhosted instances? Are you selling support? I mean you could script pulling and recreating containers, but without eyeballs on it, that stuff will die eventually.

a private school needs to give the appearance that they do, or at least have this capability when someone asks. On the ground, its barely used

I work IT in schools. There is limited surveillance tools on college owned devices. Mainly logging of web traffic. Screens can be viewed when on campus network, not reachable off campus.

No one in our department has time to waste looking at web history or screens. Teachers don’t bother to use it much either. We only look at it when directed by college executive or when I go in there at the end of term to clear the alerts.

I’d imagine most other schools are similar, no one gives a shit what kids are doing on their devices

I just build what they need, networks, auth, security etc -I’ll leave teaching to the teachers

I Sysadmin in education here in Brisbane. Half our server stack is Linux on a Nutanix hypervisor. I do all my work from Linux, my junior admin recently moved his workstation to Fedora KDE, I use Kinoite.

The student and staff devices are 95% Windows, manager doesn’t care what we use to administer. Officially we’re a “Microsoft School”

I log into EGS via heroic a few times a year to claim a free game. Yet to ever play any said free games 🤷

I figures it was a simple calculus, especially since BYD is the OEM that supplies parts for many of the other brands, especially the batteries.

I’d rather benefit from that status than support a egotist like Musk. Besides anywhere outside America the Teslas are made in China, just like the BYDs 😆

Competition has exceeded tesla. I recently got BYD Seal, and it is better than the equivalent priced tesla
