I bought solid explorer at the dawn of android and still use it to this day

I rebase my work machine to rawhide just for fun and testing

a private school needs to give the appearance that they do, or at least have this capability when someone asks. On the ground, its barely used

I work IT in schools. There is limited surveillance tools on college owned devices. Mainly logging of web traffic. Screens can be viewed when on campus network, not reachable off campus.

No one in our department has time to waste looking at web history or screens. Teachers don’t bother to use it much either. We only look at it when directed by college executive or when I go in there at the end of term to clear the alerts.

I’d imagine most other schools are similar, no one gives a shit what kids are doing on their devices

I just build what they need, networks, auth, security etc -I’ll leave teaching to the teachers

I Sysadmin in education here in Brisbane. Half our server stack is Linux on a Nutanix hypervisor. I do all my work from Linux, my junior admin recently moved his workstation to Fedora KDE, I use Kinoite.

The student and staff devices are 95% Windows, manager doesn’t care what we use to administer. Officially we’re a “Microsoft School”

I log into EGS via heroic a few times a year to claim a free game. Yet to ever play any said free games 🤷

On an atomic distro your build environment should be in a container, where it doesn’t matter what ships with the base image

It also taints the kernel with a useless module and doesn’t really offer much in the way of features over plain old kvm qemu

I don’t know what the hell people want from them.

these people are probably already using forks anyway

SRIOV in the datacenter without restrictive / Prohibitive licensing costs

Haven’t you just recommended 3 stale Ubuntu variants there?

rebuild for distribution on fdroid as not to violate trademarks

Fennec

isn’t fennec a 1:1 rebuild? I believe it still has everything turned on

what’s the immutability / atomic mechanism for this? not ostree or btrfs like fedora and opensuse’s offerings? All I see is A/B partitioning listed? something more akin to android?

wake me when we can use them as a saml provider

I can’t remember if it was 99 or 2000, I got a copy of Red Hat 6.0 (Hedwig) on the cover of a magazine and installed it. I remember the Lilo boot manager giving me trouble and then it was multiple days of dialing up the internet on my dad’s PC to find info on getting X11 to run correctly on my graphics hardware. Once I got that going it was my win modem that defeated me in the end, couldn’t get any internet. So was back to Windows for another couple of years.

In 2003 my university course had a Linux Administration subject and the lecturer had built a live cd of Fedora Core 2 (this was in the days before live cds were a regular thing) it was a revelation and it worked with much less setup. We had a Linux lab, but the livecd allowed us to work on Linux on our personal machines. I’d dabble with Linux and explore distros for a few years, depending on hard ware compatibility, I’d always have at least one Linux box. I remember attempting to get HalfLife 2 running in Cedega (a commercial fork of wine), even played the original left4dead with friends, this was in 2008. I was there when pulse audio launched before it was ready and when KDE moved to version 4 and was an absolute resource hog. I bought the unreal and tournament games on disc to play on Linux. Was Disappointed when the UT3 release got delayed and then eventually canceled. I remember going to the id software ftps to get the Linux binaries for all the quakes. There were a few other Linux adventures in there, like a misguided attempt at compiling Gentoo in 2007 and working out mythtv server as a media pc and pvr.

Was excited when I got beta access to steam in 2012, and I haven’t had Windows on my personal computers since then.

This is true, because each layered package is reinstalled every time a new compose is pulled. If you layer 100 packages, 100 packages get re-installed. Which massively slows the update process

I copy the URL and paste it into the readme.md in the root of my nextcloud account. I’ll find it again in 6 months or more and finally read it
