It is. He is poisoning Linux, slowly, from the inside. Like the XZ attack, just smarter and much slower.

Oh it’s no longer POSIX, he’s seen to that!

They can’t help themselves. They gorge themselves on his phallic offerings.

gross!

I’d take that over systemd.

As Microsoft and Poettering intended.

That’s so fetch!

Why do you feel the need to tell us?

That’s a windows issue. Go ask windows people.

We aren’t a support forum, especially not a Windows support forum. So yeah, it was suppose to unhelpful, and it was quite necessary.

No, we should be discouraging such posts to begin with. So how about I just report the post in the hopes of getting it taken down then? Would that be better? Because it certainly doesn’t belong here… and neither do apologists that let happen.

Post reported for breaking rule: “Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel.” Happy now?

Why why why would you do that?

If you don’t trust your employees, though, why give them Linux at all? Windows and Mac make the perfect locked down / restrictive / don’t trust people platforms out there. I mean, I understand locking down and securing a server, but a Linux desktop? The only value a Linux desktop has is the freedom to configure it how you like with the apps you like.

No thanks. The entire point of a Linux desktop is to not be micromanaged like that, it’s all about choice. Absolutely no point in a Linux desktop if you take that all away. They should be free to choose the DE/Window Manager, type of Linux, their choice of browser(s), ability to sudo to root, run VM’s, what have you. What it sounds like you want them to have is Linux in a simple kiosk mode. Who would want that? Give them something other than Linux if you think you are hiring ‘often incompetent’ people.

I’m speaking solely about their workstation/laptop. If I am issued a Linux desktop system for work, and I can’t have root on it, heck no. I need to be able to remove Teams and replace it with the web app. I need to be able to install docker and vm’s. Add utilities I often use, replace gnome with a useable desktop environment, add zsh, install nerd fonts, choose the nvidia or intel gpu, modify grub, setup FDE and switch to snapshotting file system, etc etc.

No body wanted Wayland except the mad scientists and anti nvidia bigots that made it.

PseudoSpock, 2 months ago

I dunno, sounds kinda cool.

PseudoSpock, 1 month ago

I’m no fanboy of any video card. I just have ton of laptops with NVidia in them, and the bigots making Wayland never gave a darn about our plight… and then they started pushing distros to switch before they did anything to fix it. Their callous attitude toward the largest desktop linux userbase is insulting and pushing the distros before they fix the problem should be criminal. Every one of them should be put away for trying to ruin Linux by abandoning it’s largest desktop user base. We dislike them, dislike them so much.

Now, will it keep us from using that crap when it finally works? No. We don’t have much choice. They’ve seen to that. x11 will go the way of the dodo. But can we dislike them forever for dragging us through the mud until they were finally forced to fix the darn thing? Yeah. Wish them nothing but the worst.

PseudoSpock, 1 month ago

At this point they could make it the best thing in the world. Won’t ever fix the resentment they earned against us NVidia users, might fix some of the resentment from x11 folks… but that it needs a separate XWayland will always be a pain point. That’s a kluge.

PseudoSpock, 1 month ago

That’ll teach me to type when I’m mad. “You’re”. There a go.

Actually, it won’t teach me. Wayland’s mere existence will bother me till the day I die, I’m sure. Especially once it’s working well enough for me to have to adopt it. The resentment will grow.

How can I hide a pinned post without blocking the poster? It bothers me having this at the top of my list all the time, like some reminder on my phone I can’t ack and make go away.

PseudoSpock, 1 month ago

No, just at the top of the Linux community. I sort on New by default, looking for anything new Linux related… it’s been slow news in there of late. I’ll check if Voyager supports a method of doing it. Another user suggested Sync client. I’m usually on my desktop browser, though.

Thanks for checking. :)

PseudoSpock, 1 month ago

Shoot, I’m sorry. Thank you for doing that for me (and us, if there happen to be others). I do feel bad you felt forced to do that, though. :( I should just accept it is how it is until Lemmy devs a way. I’m sorry.

Filesystem level encryption enabled on RHEL. For some damn reason, they turn it off in their kernel.
