It uses the Xen hypervisor, not qemu/KVM. Technically it is a Xen kernel virtualizing Linux since it is a type 1 hypervisor.

TBH i used to alt-tab away from what ever non-work-related thing i was doing, to a terminal emulator when ever my boss walked in.

It was usually showing my latest package upgrade.

I think you mean Cole’s Law

Lots of people have already mentioned Ventoy.

MediCat is Ventoy with a ton of images and a config file. It seems great, although I chose to roll my own as MediCat had a lot of Windows-centric images i have no need for.

But not in a “fuck you world, I’ll do what I want” kinda way. More of a “I wanna watch it burn” kinda way.

1. Fedora has a major update every 6 months, and every version is supported for 2 releases + 1 week (= ~1 year).
   Updates have always been pretty painless for me. Most of my problems during updates have come from NVidia drivers (on a laptop), but a fix has always been available from the community.
2. Fedora has auto-update systemd services for both DNF and RPM-OSTree (more on this later). IIRC it’s just enabling a service and maybe editing a config file, but this is easy to search for, so I won’t tell you stuff I might not remember.
3. SELinux mostly just works, and if it doesn’t it’s probably a bug (if something is a package for Fedora, SELinux should work OOTB. Browse Fedora Magazine for the quirks you need to know how to handle.
4. I have no experience with ARC GPUs but Fedora might have better support as it tracks the latest kernel release = latest driver (depends on what was actually the issue, of course)

Concerning you RAID, just make sure the installer doesn’t touch it and mount it afterwards. You might have to do some kind of “restore” to give the files the needed SELinux metadata. The Discourse forum would probably be a good place to ask.

Now, a bit about DNF vs RPM-OSTree. Fedora with DNF is the standard distro much like most other distros. Use this if the next part doesn’t sound useful to you.

RPM-OSTree is used in a new family of distro that work a bit like git for your OS.
Your system runs off an “atomic” image. Atomic means unsplittable in Greek. Everything you change on your system is applied to your atomic image, like a file is added or removed from a git repo.
This is nice because upgrading to the next major version becomes a simple matter of rebasing you changes on top of the new version, and likewise, rolling back (in case of issues) becomes a single command and a reboot.

Fedora IoT is the “Server” edition of the Atomic desktops. Fedora CoreOS is a more “immutable” approach.

Feel free to ask more questions if something doesn’t make sense.

Oh how sweet is the irony of the bigots in this thread, who thinks the tag is there to “free” from them from seeing gay people holding hands and kissing, when it’s actually there because bigots have outlawed being gay some places.

By “heavily homosexual”, do you mean pornographic? Because that’s a separate tag.

Edit: typo.

That argument is obviously wrong.
Homosexuality (and other sexualities) exist in nature. This is not uncommon knowledge.

Also, the whole “they don’t make babies so they’re unnatural” thing. How long have you thought this argument through?
Humans and animals are born sterile, they grow too old and become infertile. All of that happens in nature.

That fantasy world of yours is verifiably not how nature works, and it wouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes to disprove the bullsh*t.
It makes it hard to believe you are arguing in good faith.

Thanks for the recommendation, stranger. I’m gonna watch that!

My favorite movie is probably Brazil (1985). It’s a dystopian movie, but the population is suppressed by absurd amounts a bureaucracy (also the state surveiling and killing it’s people). You need to fill out a form to fill out a form, and every screen is tiny, but magnified by a lens to be small instead.

But what I really love about it is the the “terrorist” Archibald Tuttle (who, very much, is not the protagonist); a repair man, who risks execution by the state, zip lining around the city fixing things like the protagonist’s air condition.

I think we should all strive to be more like Tuttle in our daily lives.

Grounded danish plugs don’t fit Schuko sockets, but Schuko plugs fit danish sockets (but aren’t grounded).

This leads to a staggering amount of ungrounded devices in Denmark, as most are imported and making a variant for such a tiny country isn’t profitable.

Fun fact: the danish power plug was created by Lauritz Knudsen, a Danish company who had a monopoly. They are the reason Denmark uses this plug as the only country in the world, and Schuko only became legal to install in houses quite recently, so 99% of houses still use their standard.

LK has since been bought out by Schneider Electric but we are still stuck with our special plug and most imported devices are still ungrounded.

Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.

I run the built-in automatic rpm-ostree upgrade service every 6 hours.

If you think that’s too inefficient, maybe read the docs for shutdown.target and see if you can use that to run an upgrade service before shutdown?

I’m not too experienced with that part of systemd but it seems like it could be a “proper” way to run things on shutdown?

Use a passphrase (not a password) and a physical security key, like a yubikey. It also supports TOTP or whatever 2fa Proton uses, you just connect it with a laptop or phone and it gives you a key.

A physical key is much more secure than 2fa from a password manager (although both are probably fine)

I barely use a calculator, but you could try SageMath if you like the thought of writing you math in Python.

Then use Bugzilla. That will show you are ready to flail yourself for the good of the company /s

Sorry, but i find that platform so painful to use.

On a more serious note, i think some of the “github-style” (Gitlab/Gitea/Forgejo) can migrate between each other.

Check out if that’s true and if so, try them all!

Forgejo/Gitea are probably the most common “low-resource” (read: doesn’t use a couple of GB RAM, like Gitlab supposedly does) code forges.

Do you want to impress future employers by running an enterprise-grade bugtracker or by showing that you can document your work with meaningful bug reports/etc.?

If it’s the first option, consider Gitlab, if it’s the second option, what ever you like.

There already good recommendations, so i’ll just add that you shouldn’t make your work life harder for the sake of running Linux.

Definetly give it a go, and see if it fulfills your needs, but maybe hold off on nuking your Windows install until you are satisfied.

I use my Linux computer for personal stuff and some work stuff (web-browsing, email, office suite) and i have a separate Windows PC just for running applications specific to my field, which don’t have Linux versions or alternatives (or where it makes the most sense for me to use the industry standard)

At least talk about.

That’s what she’s criticizing her western followers and the western media for not doing.

The thought that all the western world can do is to either declare war or sit on our hands is plain wrong.
