The hate is towards the community members that spam “arch btw” and telling new users to install arch.

22·3 months agoIt used to have a graphical updater. I don’t know why they did away with it…
Some people just don’t have a sense of humor 🤷♂
I spent the day yesterday trying to get kubuntu to update to the new LTS on a friend’s laptop. All because plasma5 was being slow at login. Well, after a few hours, it was finally updated and we spent another 2 trying to find out why plasma6 was now slow.
The whole time I was thinking “why the hell did the update require the command-line” and “this feels like punching myself in the face”. I wanted a quiet, productive saturday and spent it on linux instead.
Ubuntu is not ready for non-technical folk in these cases. Without me as support, my friend would’ve been lost on the “most user-friendly distro”.
Linux is amazing tech and the ecosystem built around it is better than windows and mac for many things, but still fails at random, supposedly simple tasks. Yes, windows and mac too, but it’s much more visible on linux.
Matt Parker also wrote a linux driver himself! Much respect.
I think it’s all but certain that they’d want user’s computers to to boot into something they made, or at the very least, slapped their branding all over, even if that was only a wrapper for their web browser.
Oh yeah, absolutely. They might even make Edge send some additional data to verify that it’s the browser being used. They might even add attestation with a binary is pinging Microsoft with messages signed by a microsoft private unique per machine and generated when the user signs in. They could add a paid subscription to limit the number of devices connecting to the cloud instance. For an extra fee they could add connection “from any device or browser”.
Or or or. There are a bunch of things they can do. They could also, as I said, just allow any browser to connect, but looking back, yeah, that’s probably naive.
Who knows and who knows how fast (or slow) governments would react.
Hmmmm, I think you interpreted my comment as microsoft trying to make dual booting impossible? I meant it wouldn’t be necessary anymore, because one would just require linux with a browser to access windows if need be.
The simplest way I can imagine to forcefully disable dualbooting is do what Malus does: control the hardware and only allow one signed OS on there. Don’t trust anything else.
We just have to wait until Windows 12, the cloud OS, and dual boot will be no more. All that’ll be necessary is a browser and a fast internet connection. CoD and Valorant players though… dunno what to do about them. Pro gaming won’t be possible without running windows locally to get the highest framerate.
or install

Macs with 8GB base: did you call?
14·3 months agoDo both have to run on the host machine or can a remote machine execute the probes (over ssh or something).
It might be worth looking more deeply into. From a cursory glance, it might be usable for my usecase, but many service have configuration examples for NGINX (or Apache if they’re old). I’ve never seen caddy examples. What has your experience been with adapting those examples to caddy?
Apache still is a pain in the ass. The only guide I found useful were from 20 years ago or so. All “modern” ones I found didn’t explain stuff, but were more like “copy paste this, now you’re done”. They never fit my usecase.
I honestly don’t know why people new to webhosting even bother with Apache when NGINX is around. It’s just so much easier.
If it’s somebody who’s pure Gnu, then no thank you. They’ll probably take offense that I’m using “non-free JS” or something.
What is the context of this? License vs unlicensed? What’s going on?
That should be a child.
NixOS documentation refusing to generate pages like readthedocs can drive a man insane…
Wat?
If an Arch linux user hasn’t told anybody they use it, are they really using it?
