It kinda depends a bit on the user’s background… For someone who is used to windows and how computers in general works, I would probably agree with you.

But for people who are more phone/tablet native, I don’t think something like Fedora Silverblue is actually that bad of a choice. It comes natively with Gnome 3, which isn’t too dissimilar to Android or iOS. Updates are installed in one fell swoop with a reboot, just like Android or iOS. Flatpaks behave much more like an App on Android or iOS, they are self contained, and don’t affect eachother.

I just set up my daughters (9 y/o) first school laptop, and picked Fedora Silverblue, and apart from learning about the save icon, and learning how to store files in a filesystem, she was pretty much instantaneously functional, having most of her prior computing experience on an Android phone.

Not OP , but regarding zsh, it has much better auto completion, and suggestion support. Additionally you can theme your prompt much more, see for example powerlevel10k

The dependencies get drastically easier if you use Docker. Likewise many, but not all of the upgrade issues also get fixed with Docker.

I actually don’t know whether timeshift can just run easily from a live USB, but I don’t see why not.

But of course that also requires you to have installed and set up timeshift before (which is obviously a good idea)

It’s quite a different deal when the whole operating system it built around a timeshift-like concept.

Depends what you break. Sure kernels are easy to fix like you mention, but what if you bork your display manager?

Factorio. I saw transport belts in my dreams.

Since you are talking about pods, you are obviously emitting all your logs on stdout and stderr, and you have of course also labeled your pods nicely, so grepping all 36 gods is as easy as kubectl logs -l <label-key>=<label-value> | grep <search-term>

Nope, those steps are the steps needed to legally watch Netflix on Asahi Linux on an Apple Silicon device, because Google has not officially released the widevine library for that platform

But the author is actually using less data than expected, because he’s paying for 4K, but only able to watch up to 1080p

Ghost in the Shell is rapidly becoming a documentary.

Oh, I misremembered… It’s only 7 disks in BTRFS RAID1.

I have:

• 12 TB
• 8 TB
• 6 TB
• 6 TB
• 3 TB
• 3 TB
• 2 TB

For a combined total of 40 TB raw storage, which in RAID1 turns into 20 TB usable.

Yep

I never said anything about RAID5. I’m running RAID1.

BTRFS is running just fine for my 8 disk home server.

According to Karl, Billy must pay all the legal fees if he withdraws from the lawsuit. He must also pay the legal fees if he loses. Billy’s only way out of paying would be to win the lawsuit.

So the longer Karl strings him along, the more the fees will mount.

And since Billy doesn’t have a leg to stand on he can either withdraw now, pay a lot of money, and admit he lied. Or he can keep fighting mounting more fees in the slim nope of winning.

Uh… Please enlighten me on what DBUS has to do with DNS…

It’s rather important to understand the performance characteristics for people to know what to expect if they want to switch to Linux.

If games ran at half the FPS on Linux as they would have on Windows, then pretty much no one would be gaming on linux.

If you got 90% performance on Linux, only Linux enthusiasts would take the performance hit.

At 100% performance the choice is completely free, people that got fed up with windows could just switch.

When Linux outperforms Windows, this puts us in very interesting territory, as this might even entice a bunch of people to give Linux a try to see whether the switch is worth the performance. I’m personally quite interested in seeing whether this could be the tipping point for Linux on desktop and laptop to really start taking off.

Sure, there’s also the scratch image, which is entirely empty… So if your app is just a single statically linked binary, your entire container contents can be a single binary.

The busybox image is also more barebones than alpine, but still has a couple of basic tools.

Containers can be entirely without anything. Some containers only contain the binary that gets executed. But many containers do contain pretty much a full distribution, but I have yet to see a container with a password hash in its /etc/shadow file…

So while the container has a root account, it doesn’t have any login at all, no password, no ssh key, nothing.

I personally trust Asus, EVGA (Rip), Gigabyte, Palit, PNY, Sapphire and XFX when buying graphics cards.

My current card is a Geforce GTX 1060 6GB from Asus that I bought in 2017, and it hasn’t skipped a beat.3A
