Yeah, put Oracle on that list

Sometimes I work on a larger project that is split up in different sub projects, that were sold separately and are maybe paid by different departments. So I need to at least spilt those up.
Also it’s often easier to follow what exactly was done, when I differentiate more between my tasks and not just put a collective line there - just like small commits are more helpful than one large one.

But maybe I understood you wrong…?

Because you can’t easily borrow it your friend or bring it with you to a game night?

Not OP, but can only speak from my experience: Installing a second WM/DE usually messes up my install, as quite some stuff is just from one GUI framework, so I don’t have to have to much stuff installed.
Also getting rid of it afterwards always wasn’t as easily possible.

I completely get trying out a WM y firing up a VM. You could even just boot the live USB stick to check it out.
But changing my working install just to try something (and then have to clean it up again) wasn’t working out for me in the past

Always those fucking left wing radicals …

Quite some time that I’ve seen something so stupid

It’s even absolutely not true, that Linux is last. They just don’t know about the less used OS’ on desktop

What a braindead take…

Some industry hardware stuff sadly …

Datalogic DL.Code, Siemens TIA, etc.

If someone has a solution I’m all up for it.
Was some time ago, that I tried with wine, so maybe something has changed

Well, the Laptop is still not released. Not sure what I can say more about it :⁠-⁠\

Anyone have some experience with StarLabs?

Ordered a StarFighter like more than half a year ago and am losing confidence in the company…

Not even about user data, this is just the side dish. You have complete control over the system and spy on, and probably even can do, whatever

Just like your toothbrush and pretty much everything else
This stuff is everywhere…

But yeah, shit stained towels aren’t the way to go. And I sometimes don’t trust how clean I think I am…

Mint is a solid choice as a first Linux distribution, as it’s very user friendly and with cinnamon as Desktop Environment (GUI) build to be easily understood as windows user

A gaming focused distribution is not really necessary. Just pick a modern distribution you like and jump in. Wine, Steam, Proton can be installed on pretty much any modern distribution directly from the repository.

For a first try choose a distribution with good documentation and maybe a forum to ask (distribution specific) questions.

Fedora, Mint, Ubuntu are all good choices.

Personally I like Arch systems, but out of convenience I’m currently using Manjaro on my workstation - can’t really recommend this to a gaming focused first time user, although the Arch documentation/wiki is pretty great.

It depends a bit on how much time you want to invest to also learn about the Linux operating system or you just want to have something to game on and do some work with it.

That would be a real cool name for an OS specialized for old devices

So… What’s the purpose of the ban then?
Is this but just totally stupid and implemented completely useless, because people in power can’t grasp what they are deciding on?

As long as the laptop boots, you should be able to switch to a TTY console, where you have a complete shell interface to your system after logging in (in said TTY console). So, being greeted with a login screen or something is a win here - but you’re very vague in your report.

The GUI is only just a program and has nothing to do with your boot options in BIOS or bootloader (like grub).

Using CTRL-ALT-[F1-9/0] you can switch between your virtual consoles and on only one of them your GUI is running.
You can use any other one to change anything on the system from CLI.
You should also be able to stop the current GUI/X11 Session and directly start the window manager you wish - temporarily to fix your system, if you’re not confident in the CLI.

I’m using borg with vorta as a front-end, which seems to work quite well, with different possible backup targets

Was meant with tongue in cheek - at least that was meant with the smiley

But still, could very much think of some hungry background processes. I’m just guessing, as I don’t run Win11 anywhere

Yeah, that’s usually called optimization ;⁠-⁠)

Also don’t know how much stuff runs in the background on W11, maybe there is now more stuff needing memory and CPU time

Yeah, no leadership and fuck capitalism is the target

It’s still in use in many parts of the world
