About 15 years ago I used to run my work desktop Windows in a VMware instance on Linux. We had Redhat and VMware licenses too use. I swear it ran faster than on bare metal for some reason. I used VMware’s virtual apps for Outlook and IE.
These days i just run what they hand me. No point getting on the bad side of the admins.
Huh, hopefully it does better than their mobile phones.
It sounds perfect for me. I didn’t want to pay for online gaming. I’m not into subscription services. I have a ton of games on Steam. I have been waiting for years for a good time to upgrade my gaming PC. Cheapest option was going to be $1,200. Pre built PC are garish and embarrassing looking. Windows is currently a dumpster fire. 6 times the power of a Stream Deck. Just want to play my games. Didn’t care about games that won’t play on it, there’s a always another game that will work.
Sold! (Please be $600 out less)
Another vote for Syncthing. Might be a little too complicated for some though
Why are people like this? If you didn’t like what a company is doing, didn’t use their products.
Totally giving to work 20 years from now
See, see, they like Linux now.
Good idea!
So wanted too
😂
That was $4.99 for the bunch
It’s good for business, get it?
At one of my jobs of scripting, I remember hearing about somebody using “eject” Linux command to make an adjacent computer reboot.
Got dog vacuum?
Forget the tapes. This is hard to say but just pay for online storage. It’s $9.99 a month for 2TB from Google and Apple. Your data will be safe and accessable by family if something happens to you. You could also get a cheap NAS like device like this https://a.co/d/dgsnQbr and maybe every couple of months you create a offline backup onto another device.
I sort of want to do a stake out and bust out on the playground if he gets teased.
I see this angle and somewhat agree. Issue delt with. The nice things is he’s not going to be self conscious about them and can focus on school.
Yeah, I agree! Sadly the days of fighting back are over. I have faith he can scrap is needed
I’m guessing he’s just getting teased. Add that he’s nervous about middle school
Like everyone else said, didn’t fix it, if not broken. Admins like distros like Debian and Arch(sorry) because you have more initial control of what’s on them. Why have a GUI, if you didn’t need it? Mix that with a little OCD and next thing you’re doing is recompiling the kernel. Fun stuff 😀
