I just run whatever linux I want in a hypervisor and make it my daily driver for everything other that teams calls... (I can't seem to make Linux do any echo cancellation). The mac just can't do the basics I need on its own, it's workflow nightmare. Short of pains of being on an ARM64 CPU, the VM does pretty well. Started off using UTM, then switched to Parallels. It's not always perfect, but it is SO much better that straight up MacOS.
Bcache to make an ssd cache, then for the volume itself, BTRFS raid 1 setup. Setup any necessary SMB and NFS shares. Setup Nextcloud via docker. Probably rsync for any local distro mirrors. I'd also toss on dockerized gitlab. Add any additional services via docker.
Gamer's coming to Linux and messing up all the forums and chats with their pleas to make their Windows games work is NOT a good thing.
It promotes non open source software.
They complain about their games, when the problem is the software wasn't written for Linux. Complain to the makers and the makers of Wine and Proton. ANY issues are not Linux issues. Linux is perfect.
I did and after entering the field I had chosen after graduation, I quickly left. It wasn’t for me. What paid for school, however, was fixing computers, electronic word processors, and building and selling PC’s. Bought an Apollo system to learn Domain Aegis UNIX on and checked out every book on UNIX I could get my hands on. When Linux arrived, I got in at Linux 0.99pl13. I got a job and paid to continue my education. So yeah. When I started there wasn’t a community of enablers.
Depends on the topic. If enlightening them means I am enabling them to harm themselves, then no. Helping people waste time gaming and draw even more Steam users and their Windows crapware games towards tainting the purity of Linux is harming them and Linux, so no. No helping that.
Helping others learn when they are not willing to google, read, visit a library, etc, is called enabling, not helping. Helping those that try and get stuck is helping.
There’s nothing wrong with it. Quit trying to kick up fud.
