That’s the spirit!

btw is passive agressive now?

How about quit reading tone into words and grow up a little.

a driver update? whats that?

That’s crazy that it’s because of slide sharing, when doing it this way makes it so much easier to share!

Doesn’t suprise me though, they always make the worst decisions.

OnlyOffice is sketchy.

If you are doing presentations I would highly recommend trying none of the above.

I only use markdown or one of the presentation ready things like marp or reveal.js.

So much better and it’s just plain text or html.

You can manage presentations in git, find and replace just works, they look miles better and you can even do some neat tricks like having your students connect to a webpage and follow along on their own computers.

PowerPoint was and is a bad idea for presentations.

Dual boot is fine, you just need to choose some good options.

Method 1: Most recommended. use Refined as your boot loader and two drives, not partitions. This is the easiest, safest, and frankly nicest way to deal with this. At boot, before either system starts you get a nice graphical interface to choose which OS to go into.

Method 2: Partition style. Disable window fast startup. Disable windows hibernation (never hibernate windows before going into linux). Use UEFI and GPT no legacy methods. Don’t encrpyt windows with bitlocker.

That said, my desktop and traveling laptop have been windows free for years, I have no need for it, and your advice is the safest way overall. A vm in linux with virtualmanager works very well.

Well except during the Plex outage today.

And last week.

when

I loved it… but I stopped?

They have said this before, I will believe it when I see it.

I didn’t know John carpenter was still around, I guess I don’t follow social media.

Anyways: what a funny time to see this as I had just taken a break to get a soda while watching Assault on Precinct 13 when I read this.

First? Notepad

Now?

You have no experience. I need a computer to get paid. No way am I using windows. Linux on the desktop is rock solid and the most productive environment available.

I manage microsoft crap for a living and tolerate the occasional Mac (what a mess its become), and I would never rely on a Microsoft product.

If you had any experience at all being on a call or in person with microsofts server, desktop, or azure teams you would know damn well that even they know its mess with contradicting advice and rules and fixes for their shit.

lol.

All my complaining about Ubuntu and yet I kind of liked Unity. I had it on a guest computer and a laptop for awhile.

I actually liked the orange colors. I liked the fonts. I even liked early unity as an alternative to gnome back then.

But it just kept changing!

Started with their first release. So broken compared to everything else at that time.

Now on new releases to this day it still throws weird errors or doesnt work as expected AT INSTALL. Usually reboots will fix some of those issues, sometimes I don’t even know if they are real issues, but it just shows Canonical doesnt make a very good product.

Then sooner or later, with Canonical not able to keep an idea longer than 6 months, something else will break. Its just the Ubuntu way.

Seems like their server version is better, I can’t really complain about it. I don’t have to interact with it much, but it behaves a lot better.

Also, Xbuntu and Kbuntu somehow fared better than Ubuntu, much less problems.

Other way around mostly…

Fedora trys stuff first.

Funny that it’s not a rolling distro, yet it is often ahead of my cachyos box. It’s astounding how fast fedora puts stuff out yet never any effort on my part to manage it. Unlike cachy or even arch.

First? Redhat.

Used? Gentoo, Debian, Mepis, sidux, peppermint, mint, fedora, cachyos, puppy, damnsmall, evil entity, suse, opensuse, Slackware, arch, and who knows how many more.

Using right now: Debian, fedora, cachyos, opensuse, Slackware. Different distro depending on need and device.

Favorite? Real soft spot for mepis, it made it easy back in the day. Fedora right now: it always just works, there is nothing to do just update and move on. Also Debian. Because Debian.

Worst: Ubuntu. Such a piece of crap, always breaking since first release.

Best at what exactly?

I agree. Doesn’t do anything it would be better to get people to buy stock in the company and vote on what you want. Get enough people and you can make change.

But that process is also… Gross. And expensive.

Then you are fucked right? What’s app and Facebook have you.

I too live somewhere this is expected. I said no. I won’t do it. Facebook is easy, because whatever.

WhatsApp is harder even the doctors want to use it. But I won’t. Someone has to start saying no.
