The It department told me the reason that they don't support Linux is the lack of good endpoint management software and the support overhead compared to MacOs
The Pi 4 is massively overpowered for a PiHole, but if you got one laying around doing nothing, go for it.
I have my PiHole running on a Pi Zero with a USB Ethernet adapter. The WebUi is a bit slow, but the actual DNS with unbound as a backend isn't any slower than on a Pi 4.
Debian based distros are good, but I always had problems with the slow releases.
And no idea how well that works out for GPU drivers if you plan to play new games
On a more serious note, most things are available, some things are behind on updates unless you compile everything yourself (even when using the ports collection).
I haven't used it as a desktop environment, I was just maintaining a FreeBSD server, so no idea on that end
I already have a laptop that has Arch running for a Year and I haven't regretted that a bit.
Im just to lazy to make some space for Linux on my desktop that's already dying and just waiting until I have replaced the Motherboard and CPU.
Especially since I will need to Dualboot for some programs and Windows really likes to kill my bootloader unless it has its own drive with its own EFI partition
Oh good, another reason to install Linux on my next reinstall
It might be a stupid reason, I always used a local account even when connecting a Microsoft account later, since I absolutely hate how Windows names the user folder for MS accounts...
Continuing on a squash merged branch is very annoying, and I had to deal with this in one repo regularly...
Luckily I was annoyed enough to research about this and found out about rebase --onto "main merge commit" "branch merged commit".
Yes that was my idea, I already ordered a magnetic plate kit today and I can try this out first.
Since the heater is an aluminum PCB directly glued to the glass I might just try to separate the glass from the PCB if the glass if sticking it on top doesn't work out like I wanted
They know it exists, they are just very understaffed so don't have time getting more complex things set up.
At least the devs get to have Linux if they can fix their own problems, but no more new non Mac Hardware...
