Are you guys using your own computers to work? I connect vpn and then remote desktop.

I can’t escape windows at work because my company uses all windows.

“Starting over” is how we learnt Windows in the 90’s too

I jumped ship from windows 10 to Linux on August and it’s been smooth I have found alternatives for everything, but to be fair I used a lot of foss already on Windows 10.

Started with Debian but although I love it for my homelab I didn’t like it being behind on KDE release so I switched to endeavourOS and I just love it.

I worked during my mom’s last months of life while taking care of her because the company allowed me to fully work from home, no question asked if I was available ok, if I wasn’t ok too. And I brag about that. Otherwise I would have taken a sick leave to take care of my mom (which my country allows), but working gave me a good, I don’t know how to say, sometimes when I had work and my mom didn’t need me I didn’t think about the situation and that was nice.

People should make use of their rights, although in my case I found a compromise that, in my opinion, benefited me; but this company gained my loyalty for the time being.

Back in the day we did that because it too long to boot so we never shut it down.

20 years later we have servers at home that we never shut down.

The lingering feeling of instability. This is my second install of OpenSUSE, after I messed up something leading to my computer having some files which it wanted to update, but using urls which didn’t exist. After this, I’ve been feeling a bit insecure and afraid of doing something that ruins my installation. I know there’s the saying that Linux ‘just works’, but I’ve never messed up a Windows installation…

Regarding this. How often did you mess your windows installation when you started? Because I started around 8 years old with MSDOS and I screwed Windows many times, eventually I learnt what to do and what not.

Regarding software today it’s easier than it’s ever been in Linux. With flatpack, appimages and the different repos.

Anyway there is this scene in the show “Bojack Horseman” where the titular character was trying to do some exercise by running up a hill and he is tired, exhausted, another characters pass by and says: “It gets easier”, “uh?” answers Bojack, “It gets easier but you have to do it every day, that’s the hard part”.

What that means is, it will get easier, specially when you are young, but you have to be constant, you have to keep messing around and do backups.

Here is the scene from Bojack

That being said, I am huge fan of opensuse and debian but eventually on my desktop I went with endeavour-os, the only time I screwed it up it was easy to fix it by using the live-iso editing the config files and fixed.

Yep, tried everything and Thunder is the best for me.

Okay, give me a number and I’ll call you now.

You can do all that with KDE without using the terminal.

But, I won’t talk about software because even distributions have their own way to install them without terminal and there is flatpak from a corporate perspective you dont want users to install software on their own.

Users don’t even know how they organize their files, the difference between sharepoint, teams or onedrive. Of course they can’t use a terminal but they would never need to like users in windows don’t handle updates, their IT do.

but after a couple times you’re left with no choice but to let it run.

That would be an user issue then. If I have an update I’ll try to do it asap, if I can’t then end of my shift.

Incredible no one said it before considering the poisioned the entire world TWO times.

I agree, but in my experience there aren’t screens everywhere (NAIA for example) and having the app is a plus, besides, flight gates can change at any time and having the app allows you to check that on the move.

As I said, not defending putting ads but with the apps is not that big of an issue.

You can check with an app in your phone too so these days it’s not that terrible except for the elderly ofc.

I am not defending this practice just pointing out! When I traveled a month ago I was so tired of the screens not updating that I used an app and got everything and also could check from the gate (poor audio speakers I couldn’t understand anything)

As long as companies are eating that they will be ok. BUT, like most tech companies, at some point they will pull a broadcom and then the alternatives will thrive.

By the time of Constantine Christianity was big already. They just stopped fighting it and embraced it, better to be the one controlling it that the one steamrolled by it.

Think of a project you want to do, seek how to do it and do it, then break it and fix it.

I use it and works perfectly for my needs

You are a fool because no helmet can protect you from a projectile that crossed space, survived entrance in the atmosphere. All that just to hit you
