What’s wrong with Ubuntu and RH? Is it because of the snaps / source code debacle? Both of those had solid business cases to them and while I dislike the outcome, I do understand why they made that choice and most importantly - I still appriciate what each company does for FOSS.
My two examples are of OS SaaS that got their plug pulled before they got to that stage. See skiff.com and omnivore.
I know that you get this question a lot, but why would one use this over sterlingPDF?
It’s a shell, like sh, bash and zsh, but very user friendly and has great defaults OOB.
Its not about contributing to the map data. There’s quite few quality issues with organic maps, from small things in the UI to how it calculates the navigation from A to B. I want to like organic maps, but its still far from usable for me. I do however regularly contribute to OSM - mainly thanks to streetcomplete.
I didn’t know about öffi, thought it would only cover Germany but it supports much more countries. Thanks for the tip!
I have a surface Go Gen1 and linux worked flawlessly on it. The bootup was tricky af though.
There is a tiny linux surface community that I created here on Lemmy, ask your questions there and I’ll be happy to help (while making the answers avaible to others In the same situation): https://lemmy.ml/c/surfacelinux
But proton drive soaent have a linux client yet, I suppose you just upload your files there once through the web interface and don’t sync?
With macOS or Asahi?
He is on another level, so I imagine he can solve issues that arise compared to the average person 😁
Whaaaat, you’re having a good experience with teams in Firefox? I’ve run into all kinds of problems with teams under Firefox in linux, particularly with codecs and not being able to receive video. It works better under edge in linux, but unsurprisingly, the best teams experience is under the native client in Windows.
Some are forced to use windows due to workplace requirements or software only running on windows. I run linux everywhere I can, but don’t always have the choice.
Correct me I’d I’m wrong, but with docker you’re limited to the filesyatems and the image of the OS you’re installing. If you need to experiment with the pre-OS boot events, can that even be accomplished with docker? E.g., trying out different GRUB settings, setting up LUKS with dropbear etc. I think those things require a VM.
Why is flatpak a security risk? The applications run isolated and offer higher security, unless I’m missing something?
I’ve been using linux on and off for 20 years and docker reignited my interest for running linux. There’s plenty of good guides and free courses, if you need help finding one - let me know and I’ll send you a YT playlist.
Got any guides on how to strip plasma down to the bare necessities? I have it on a machine with 4 GB RAM, but I don’t know how to optimize it for such old hardware.
In Sweden most government provided services are accessible through a web browser, but you need “BankID” which requires Android. Which is kind of Linux, though not fully FOSS.
Do not get the L-models. They’re cheap, have crappy build quality and I daresay that thinkpad skimps on the non-obvious parts that will hinder performance - even though the machine looks powerful on paper.
Put your money into a better product instead.
Don’t thank me, thank Stallman. I stole it straight from straight him ;-)
That’s good to hear. I assume the normal- and IR-cameras aren’t working? The latter is nice to have, the former is a bit of must-have in today’s remote work environment.
There are various obstacles to “just forking” a project; it requires times to understand the frameworks / libraries used in the project, understand the code and its different parts and last but not least, have a interest to invest that time and energy (most often, that time could be spent developing your own solution that would fit your usecase better).
As for the stage I was referring to, both the theories of enshittification and rot-economy see software and services going through stages to attract new users, before going in for the profit maximizing.
