“…resigned with my own key…”

That’s a “no” from me, dawg. This isnt a distro, this a later revision you could easily just target and run. I don’t think you know exactly what constitutes an entire distribution.

Is it only happening with folders that are or have symlinks?

If you’re looking for something hosted, ProtonDocs is fine, however you’ll need an account for each collaborator which could get expensive.

Lots of mentions of HedgeDoc, but it’s only for Markdown.

Collabora sounds more in line with what you’re looking for. Nextcloud Office might be a bit lacking.

The distro doesn’t matter, the Desktop Environment does.

If they are used to MacOS and want something simple and “out of the way”, go with Gnome.

If they are used to Windows, go with KDE.

Fedora is probably the most straightforward to install and manage right now. You won’t need to “lock down” anything if you don’t give them sudo credentials.and just a regular user account.

Open Source projects get lots of free features for being on GitHub. Nobody else is beating that offering at current.

Linux is the most deployed OS on the planet, and the comparisons are not even close.

If you mean just for Desktop, it depends on what’s happening with the MacBook Neo, and if Microsoft gets their shit together and reverses course I suppose.

Look up elsewhere about the reputation Brother has with compatibility. Personal experience: never fails. That’s their jam.

Trust me. It is.

This has more details: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeKeyring/SecurityFAQ

The security model skews towards convenience versus absolute security, meaning automation is it’s goal, not perfect security. They use a reasonable amount of security to protect unauthorized access, meaning untrusted apps can’t access keys by default, and container apps only have selective access. AppArmor is supposed to be handling some DBUS interactions in the background to prevent any old app from grabbing everything, but again, automation is the purpose here.

If you don’t have a reasonably trusted system, then sure, it’s about as secure as any other password manager. I remember reading some time ago there was a plan to make a global framework for trusted application.accessnto things like this, but it was shot down for being “oppressive” in the same way as Microsoft’s trust app mess.

Ideally there would be an advanced mode where each app is granted access to specific keys, and that interaction is controlled by the user. This would never be the default obviously as the user interaction would be an insane annoyance to people who don’t care.

No gaming distro outperforms any other distro by any measurable means a user would notice.

I don’t think it could possibly be measured because it’s something like: (file size ÷ block size) * num_writes

So it entire depends on the types of files, how often you’re utilizing writes to disk…etc. I just wouldn’t worry about it. If you REALLY want to estimate the tax: use iostat to check the number of writes on the drive in the last 24 hours, THEN enable online defrag and check it again in 24 hours. See what the difference is.

It really doesn’t matter for HDD though. Barely probably matters for SSD.

It should be a default, but I can see why it would be disabled for SSDs to prevent using cycles unnecessarily. If you’re using HDDs, check and see if it’s enabled.

Either way, unless you’re REALLY needing some minor performance improvements out of your disks, it shouldn’t make a huge difference.

Oops, you’re right. ZFS doesn’t have that.

There is no “normal” amount of fragmentation on modern filesystems that do things like CoW. That’s kind of the point.

If you’re reading and writing large files with a consistent amount of I/O, you’re going to have a higher amount of fragmentation because of the nature of CoW. This is by design. This doesn’t mean anything is wrong with the filesystem, just that peak performance soon after writing is not achieved. Btrfs and ZFS do online defrag and deferred scheduling of tasks for it to allow for EVENTUAL consistency as far as contiguous block forms go. The more free space you have, the sooner it will become cleaner.

No, they don’t. This is another one of THOSE comments.

Any distro will work.

Both KDE and GNOME have super simple key mapping tools to set your Super key combos to whatever you want.

Remmina is probably the best RDP client available for any OS.

I don’t even know where you can get a VPS with that little memory anymore. I think this is just the nature of the kernel progressing and growing in features and size.

Maybe have a look at something like : https://github.com/trisweb/buildkern

Those are customized installs to use the most minimal disk and memory footprint possible. You sure they run a MODERN release of Debian?

Still very true. What’s your particular issue with Brother?
