Desktop management wasn’t, and isn’t, a priority. Managing fleets of servers has been the focus, and the Linux vendors make most of their money selling server distros.
It can be done, but it has to be built using the raw tools available. This is a strength and a weakness. Strength because it’s super flexible, and a weakness because random IT person has to know what they’re doing.
There are some projects like FreeIPA, Gnome FleetCommander, SaltStack, and Foreman which have parts. There’s nothing turn key like Intune or Jamf though. Plus this is all based on on-prem stuff. We’re not even touching on Entra replacements.
Zsh is but more for interactivity. The extended file globbing, extended auto completion, and loadable modules are the main reasons I like it. The features really shine when used with a configuration framework like ohmyzsh.
Supposedly, Zsh has a more comprehensive shell scripting syntax, but that’s not a plus since I don’t want to write shell scripts.
Invading Mexico or Columbia ranks higher. You know countries with people who have experience fighting guerrilla wars and have existing relationships with arms dealers.
Invading China probably takes top spot though. Don’t start land wars in Asia, especially with a peer state who has most of the world’s manufacturing capacity.
If there's one silver lining I wonder if China became more reluctant about Taiwan seeing how thins can go
Naw. Getting the US involved in several different conflicts is a great way to sideline the US when it comes to Taiwan. It benefits China and Russia if the US is distracted, spread thin, and fighting with allies.
The silver lining is it out would cause the collapse of the US economy making it easier for other countries to fill the void.
One of the great things about Web3 and AI, for corps, is forcing decentralized systems into centralized platforms, limiting hosting access to people who have money, and limiting competition to companies which have the capital to invest in mitigations, or the money to pay for exceptions.
Exactly. I’ve been up for 27 hours, but I finally have a booting Gentoo install now. 😃
Gentoo installs are not that bad these days. However, back in 2005, it would take, like, a day or so to compile the kernel on my old Pentium M Thinkpad. I would run through the install, start compiling the kernel, and go to sleep/work/whatever. I would check on it periodically to see if anything went wrong, and eventually it would get to the point where I could reboot and find out I messed something up and had to start over. That was like a week, and then I installed Ubuntu. 😂
This is heavily dependent on the printer driver used.
My bother does this until I install the CUPS PPD from brother.
Newer process are moving to a driverless IPP model, which should help with this.
