  • For a moment there I did not know that word is the name of a software application. Reading your sentence literally is... odd.

  • I just run it all on a retired laptop. Low power, quiet, plenty of performance. With a NAS next to it, even storage is no issue.

  • How does one "find their scent"? Just the thought of going to the perfume aisle makes me nauseous... And I can't tell one from the other anyway.

  • No offense, but this question is what is holding many people back that would otherwise be on the fence or ready to go.

    If there were just Mac / Windows / Linux, it would be an easy sell.

    But we have Mac / Windows / two million Linux flavors.

    It does not matter which one you pick, it is bound to cause questions or issues. And once you've chosen a Linux flavor, someone asks you why you chose that desktop and not foobar9000 instead which everyone knows runs much better on your Linux flavor anyway.

    I honestly think that Linux' biggest enemy is Linux. Sure, choice is good, but this is too much. Way too much.

  • What are things you know because of your personal interests that most people have no idea about ?

  • For me it wasnt the police station but the traffic helicopter saying something half-unintelligible. My brother and I refer to it frequently as "yadda yadda reporting heavy traffic"

  • Nearly 50% of Gen Z Say They’re Too Burnt Out to Work

    Jump

  • I'm burnt out trying to go the standard mile, even. Because corpo now expects everyone to fill in for the two others that left, so we're all on triple workload. Forget about any extra miles.

  • I am a worker ant in a colony of ten thousand ants. There is no chance in hell that my voice will be heard. On the contrary: if I make too much noise, I will be purged.

    It's not my circus. If corpo wants to run crappy bloatware (Win11) then that's on them. And they do. Shrug.

  • You are thinking from a technical point of view. I agree there, but this is not about "can you?"

    Corporations don't care about workers. They care about security and legal stuff. So you will use their officially sanctioned OS and tools, or you will be fired for violating their policies. There's no arguing that.

    Small businesses don't have such policies, and workers have freedoms. That's where you can do these things. But big organisations are lost to us. Accept or leave.

  • Every corporate setting ever.

    Corpo says use Windows, you have to do that. Circumvent it and you are going to get fired. Even using a nonstandard browser, or whatever, can get you in hot water. Corpo protect their legal standing, workers are irrelevant.

  • Every office job ever runs on Windows & Office. Fact of life, cannot change it.

    Maybe excluding the smallest businesses where the people are actually still human.
