Familiarity goes a really long way. My mom still wants her PortalTV unit to answer to voice commands.

My mom and my wife’s mom have computers soon to be out of support. Windows.
They need something stable, but also that does all their normal stuff. I’d love something that updated cleanly like enterprise Linux, but gave them the win7 interface they had for so long (they complain about this one now).
So that’s your market. Yeah, a wine box would work well, and Nobara is nearly the winning candidate. But even it requires a lot of finagling for windows people, and I’d love something completely seamless so it’s easier to support.
They’ve only almost barely nearly shat out a usable Unix with hurd. Give them another few decades, my dude!


Still crutching on containers?
They reversed that policy
For now.
Careful with the ugreen: I found if you get the cheaper option, you can’t hot-swap a disk anymore. They don’t make that really clear.


Upgrades between major versions - since they can be radically different - is generally not an effective feature.
Having said that, conectiva’s apt-rpm could upgrade and downgrade between major versions; and it worked really well!


Got a version without docker?


A ir-gapped - Entirely self-contained. Runs without internet access, external services, or tracking
Yet, has a dockerfile.
Which is it? Iso27002 or no?


If it really was so bad then all major distros and DEs wouldn’t be actively working to switch.
I’m laughing in Systemd.


I love this comment. It’s like asking an ant to hold back the tide. The fact it’s said so unironically makes it better.


Container crutches. Ew. And if a dev can’t spell self-hosted, then I don’t trust them to do it properly.


Canada would be happy to receive many of these skilled refugees. There are programmes now for medical workers, and if global companies prefer American timezones for worker surveillance, then have I got news for them !
Of course; it uses Systemd.


It’s a hobby: it’s driven by your interests alone.


That’s so fetch.
Where’s the Bazel people at?
CI compatible to GitHub actions
Ugh. More yaml?
It’s still yaml shit though.
Comically, the organization with the worst history for virtualization now doubled-down on SAAS. This is certainly going well.
