Nice. And you made sure to mention Anubis, but without it being a clickable link.

Perfect for many of the fun-policing prudes I’ve worked with. (They will never ever actually google a keyword themselves.)

Anubis is not out to make money, as such it has absolutely no obligation to try to appeal to corpos who would use it without contributing back to it.

Either your coworkers have to get over their hangups (have they not noticed that some of the best software that exists is made by furries?) or you’ll have to re-implement something yourselves.

Anubis is open source. You COULD fork it and modify it for your own purposes.

If your coworkers can’t separate what a piece of software is able to do from how it is branded, that’s their problem.

Is this some joke I have too many known-good btrfs snapshots to understand?

You can do with linux, what you are already doing with W10.

The switch will be a lot of work, but keeping it working doesn’t have to be.

I don’t have my system set to auto-update. That way, if it worked yesterday, nothing that might change that will have happened since.

Once you have your install working how you want, nothing has to change. Linux doesn’t force updates on you, and if you don’t stay connected to the internet, you don’t need to worry about security vulnerabilities needing updates that fix them, either.

Even better, with filesystem snapshots (which you can set up using timeshift if on btrfs), if you do update and run into issues, you can go back to exactly the way the operating system was before the update. Or weeks and even months earlier.

This way, I don’t need to tweak and fix my system. If an update breaks something, I don’t fix it. I hit undo. And if I just want to get to gaming, I just skip updating that evening.

Update when and if you feel like it.

I just want to load my games and play and not have to fiddle with compatibility or making it work.

Depending on what you play, that is pretty much how it works today. Install steam/heroic. Log in. Download games. Hit the play button.

No-one is claiming linux is perfect.

What I do have a problem with is the idea that we should all act like it will explode in our faces.

For the vast majority of users it won’t.

“You hate hotdogs? YOU MUST LOVE BURGERS THEN”

What are you even trying to say?

This is like trying to solve mental illness by making sickness illegal.

Make babies! It’s illegal to be lonely!

It is super neat to have numbers on this.

Looks like anything above the nano pro is more powerful than the Steam machine as long as you don’t pick the weakest GPU in the configurator.

Me: is this some joke I have too many known-good btrfs snapshots to understand?
