TL;DR: ChromeOS is Linux but it's not Linux but it's a Linux so count it as a Linux but not Linux. Half.

I always thought the Red Hat business model was based around service and support with the OS being a secondary product which is why the free forks existed. When did the OS become the product?

"like mini lightweight VMs"

That's exactly how I've approached it cause that's exactly how it was explained. But it's not at all like that. Thanks for your explanation.

This guy makes some of the best Linux content on the Internet. This walk through is spot on and if you're having trouble with the written guide, watch the video and you can do it along with him in several different scenarios. I can't say enough good things about his content.

Arch and Debian. I have two home PCs with all my data on an smb share. One runs Debian 12, the other runs Arch. When I sit down I decide which I want to use and go. I couldn't pick one I liked better so....I didn't.

I was just about to reply that perhaps they didn't quite realize it was a Hitler quote, then the Vice article showed a picture of the quote in print with it clearly attributing Hitler. Yep, go on ahead and get fucked.

At all three tiers (low, mid, and high end), out of those three available brands, you always want brother.

Parallax II no question.

What doesn't make sense is your use of the term "offline editor" - it's entirely nonsensical in this context. If they can't use an offline editor, they won't be any better with an online editor. It's like saying you need a 4 door car because you can't drive a 2 door car - it's the same thing with more seats. Photo editing is photo editing regardless of where the software is hosted.

Huge thanks for this. I'll look at them tonight.

Since when is Gnome the default? The default varies by distro...

I'm currently using Arch and doing the same thing. I learned more than a decade ago not to even bother with asking questions to the community at large. Bunch of self righteous dicks they are.

You can self host VS Code.

pfSense on a ZimaBoard 216 works astonishingly well and it's easy to setup and manage. Toss in a Mikrotik CSS610 and you have a vlan ready setup in under an hour.

If you don't like the ZimaBoard, you can go with any of the Topton style router PCs from AliExpress for a couple hundred and have a 2.5Gb router running in proxmox with docker in a separate VM.

Are there any machines in use anymore that don't support UEFI? When did it become standard? Something like 2012?

I can second this. I've had two bricked System 76 systems because the DC jack burned itself right off the board.

I got called a pussy for buying a .380 EZ. Despite the fact I like those guns a lot, it was for my wife's birthday so she could have something to actually enjoy at the range. She carries a 42. I didn't buy it there.

Fedora KDE.

Mikrotik wireless wire will get that done without needing two routers.

I'm not well versed in Uberti. Is this an SAO?
